1967 Map of Lake Angeline

About this map

Bighorn National Forest contains a high-altitude water system dominated by the Lake Angeline basin and the distinctive Seven Brothers Lakes chain. Mapped during a 1966 photogrammetric survey and field-checked the following year, this terrain reveals a network of foot travel including the Solitude Trail and Angeline Trail. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, where drainage from Darton Peak feeds into numerous smaller bodies such as Lower Frozen Lake and Upper Frozen Lake. The eastern portion of the quadrangle shows the headwaters of the South Fork Ponds and Sherd Lake, with the surrounding timberlands organized into designated areas like Triangle Park and Buffalo Park. This record preserves the precise location of back-country campgrounds and trail systems before modern recreation patterns shifted, illustrating the remote hydrological connections between the Chill Lakes and the larger North Clear Creek system.
