About this map

Bighorn National Forest serves as the backdrop for this high-altitude landscape, where the Cloud Peak Wilderness protects a network of glacial lakes and granite summits. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Darton Peak and Bighorn Peak, while the Solitude Trail provides a primitive passage through the high country.

Water is the dominant element, with clusters such as the Seven Brothers Lakes and the isolated Lake Angeline set within deep glacial cirques. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the era, from the Chill Lakes in the south to the headwaters of South Clear Creek and Middle Clear Creek. This 1993 revision, based on photographs from earlier decades, captures the remote character of the Johnson County high country before more contemporary climate shifts altered these alpine water levels.
