1901 Map of Cloud Peak

About this map

The Bighorn Forest Reserve dominates this landscape, defined by the high-altitude divide of the Bighorn Mountains at the turn of the century. Surveyed between 1897 and 1899, the terrain is centered on the towering Cloud Pk., with drainage patterns flowing toward the Powder River in the southeast and Trapper Creek in the northwest. The map illustrates a complex network of glacial basins and alpine lakes, including Lake Solitude, Kearney Lakes, and Meade Lake.
