About this map

Cloud Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Bighorn National Forest dominate this 1967 field-checked survey along the boundary of Johnson and Big Horn counties. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and reservoirs, including Kearny Reservoir, Glacier Lake, and the Cross Creek Lakes system. Significant peaks such as Black Tooth Mountain, Mt Woolsey, and Penrose Peak provide the primary geographic markers for this alpine region.

Transport through this wilderness relies on established routes like the Solitude Trail and the Big Goose Creek Trail, which connect natural landmarks with recreational sites like the Highland Park Campground. The presence of the Cross Creek Res and multiple smaller bodies of water like Sapphire Lake and Diamond Lake suggests a complex drainage network feeding into the East Fork Little Goose Creek and Kearny Creek, illustrating the vital watershed role of these highlands.
