About this map

Cloud Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Bighorn National Forest dominate this landscape along the border of Johnson and Big Horn Counties. The area is a labyrinth of alpine basins and glacially-carved peaks, including Black Tooth Mtn, Mt Woolsey, and Penrose Peak. These summits overlook a dense network of water bodies such as Lake Geneva, Glacier Lake, and the Sawtooth Lakes.

Human presence is defined by an extensive trail system utilized by backcountry travelers, including the Solitude Loop Trl, Kearny Cutoff Trl, and Spear Lake Trl. The mapping of these routes alongside features like Highland Park and Lake Elsa illustrates the region's character as a preserved wilderness area. The drainage patterns of Canyon Cr and the E Fork Little Goose Cr further delineate the complex topography of the Bighorn range.
