2017 Map of Lake Solitude

About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Big Horn County, centered on the glacial waters of Lake Solitude. This area is characterized by an extensive network of pack trails and forest roads, including the Solitude Loop and Main Paintrock, which navigate the steep drainage systems of Paint Rock Creek and its various forks. Distinctive peaks such as Cement Mtn and Elk Mtn tower over subalpine meadows like Long Park and the aptly named Bellyache Flats. The map reveals a land managed for both recreation and preservation, with Battle Park serving as a significant reference point for backcountry travelers. Smaller water bodies like Poacher Lake and Lily Lake sit tucked away from the primary drainages, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Cloud Peak Wilderness borderland.
