2015 Map of Dome Lake

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Bighorn National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by glacial lakes and sharp mountain peaks. Spanning the border of Sheridan and Johnson counties, the area includes prominent landmarks such as Saddle Mtn and Elk Peak, which rise above the surrounding drainages of Porcupine Cr and W Fork Big Goose Cr. The water system is particularly dense, featuring a network of natural and man-made catchments including Dome Lake Reservoir, Sawmill Reservoir, and Lake Fontanalis. High-country transitions are marked by Rock Chuck Pass and Elk Pass, while geological features like Dome Rock and Black Rib indicate the complex batholith structure of the central Bighorn Mountains. This document provides a record of the wilderness hydrology and forest boundaries as they stood in the early 21st century.
