1899 Map of Cloud peak

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Cloud Pk and the surrounding high peaks of the Big Horn Mountains dominate this late nineteenth-century survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology, where numerous alpine basins hold named waters like Lake Helen, Mistymoon Lake, and the Seven Brothers Lakes. These waters feed a radial network of drainages including Trapper Creek and Shell Creek to the northwest, and the North, Middle, and South Clear Creek forks to the east. Sparse human presence is noted at remote outposts like Soldier Park and the settlement of Rome near the southern boundary. The map captures the dividing line between Big Horn and Johnson counties as it traverses the crest, marking the early political organization of this wilderness area within the Bighorn Forest. Topographic detail follows the steep descents into Tensleep Canyon and Leigh Canyon, illustrating the transition from high-altitude granite to the deep limestone canyons on the western flank.
