1986 Map of Granite Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Granite Peak stands as the literal and figurative high point of this mid-1980s alpine survey, marking the intersection of the Custer National Forest and Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial features and high-altitude hydrology, where the Granite Glacier and Sky Top Glacier feed a network of drainages including Sky Top Creek and Granite Creek. The terrain reveals a complex series of basins and cirques, holding numerous named water bodies from the expansive Mystic Lake and Island Lake to the smaller Princess Lake and Cold Lake. This provisional mapping effort captures the primitive character of the backcountry before modern digital surveying, where the only access is via a winding Pack Trail that follows the contours of West Rosebud Creek. To the east and south, the map traces the high-altitude boundaries between Stillwater, Park, and Carbon counties along the peaks of the Beartooth range.
