1993 Map of Dome Lake

About this map

High-altitude hydrology and mountain peaks define this section of the Bighorn National Forest, where the complex drainage of the West Fork Big Goose Creek feeds several significant alpine reservoirs. Built for early twentieth-century water management, the Dome Lake Reservoir and Dome Lake are central features, alongside smaller bodies like Sawmill Reservoir and the Weston Reservoir. The map illustrates the careful division of land along the Sheridan and Johnson County line, which cuts through the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Significant landmarks for navigation and local history include the prominent Saddle Mountain, Elk Peak, and Dome Rock. Traces of earlier human presence are visible near Preacher Rock and a legacy Gaging Station, illustrating the transition from resource development to wilderness conservation in the Wyoming high country.
