1967 Map of Cloud Peak

About this map

Cloud Peak and Black Tooth Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Johnson and Big Horn counties. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, this area of the Bighorn National Forest showcases a complex hydrological network of alpine lakes and glacial features. Water management for the surrounding regions is evident in the presence of the Cross Creek Res and Kearny Reservoir, while the vast system of hiking paths, including the Solitude Trail and Cliff Lake Trail, reveals how the area was accessed for recreation. The map captures the rugged character of Highland Park and its various water bodies like Myrtle Lake and Peggy Lake, providing an essential record of the Wyoming high country's physical geography before modern climatic shifts impacted these alpine environments.
