1967 Map of Lake Angeline

About this map

Bighorn National Forest contains a complex network of alpine glacial basins and high peaks as documented during this 1967 field survey. The landscape is defined by its concentrated clusters of water bodies, most notably the Seven Brothers Lakes and the isolated Lake Angeline, which sits beneath the shadows of Darton Peak. This high-altitude terrain was accessible primarily by the Solitude (Pack) Trail and the Angeline Trail, indicating a period of early wilderness management focused on pack-animal transit and primitive camping. Near Oliver Campground, the headwaters of Oliver Creek and several smaller ponds like Rainy Lake and Long Lake illustrate the intricate hydrology of the area's granite basins. The map also documents a series of named summits including Bighorn Peak and Ant Hill, alongside transitional forest zones used for seasonal grazing or recreation as suggested by labels like Buffalo Park Creek.
