About this map

The Beartooth Plateau dominates this portion of the Shoshone National Forest, characterized by an alpine landscape of high summits and a dense concentration of glacial lakes. Notable peaks including Quintuple Peaks, Sawtooth Mountain, and Tolman Mountain define the horizon, while the terrain drops toward the namesake Deep Lake and its surrounding Deep Lake Slide Area Creek.

Hydrological patterns are clearly defined by the numerous water bodies such as Mirror Lake, Gardner Lake, and Sawtooth Lake, which feed into various drainages like Littlerock Creek and Thief Creek. The presence of the Beartooth Roadside Pass Park indicates the accessibility of this high-elevation environment during the late twentieth century. This 1987 provisional survey also marks distinct ecological zones like Sawtooth Meadows, situated beneath the prominent ridges of the Wyoming high country.
