1967 Map of Cloud Peak

About this map

Cloud Peak and the surrounding high-elevation interior of the Bighorn National Forest dominate this 1967 survey, which maps the dramatic divide between Big Horn and Johnson counties. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and reservoirs, including Kearny Reservoir, Lake Geneva, and Glacier Lake, highlighting the critical role of these high-altitude watersheds for the region below. This survey captures a specific network of foot travel and recreation prior to later modern developments, marking the Solitude Trail, East Fork Trail, and Cliff Lake Trail. From the towering heights of Black Tooth Mountain and Mt Woolsey down to the established Highland Park Campground, the map illustrates a protected wilderness area where geological features and hydrological resources are the primary focus of human interest.
