About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Big Horn County, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and mountain peaks. Centered around Lake Solitude, the area serves as a primary drainage basin for Paint Rock Cr and its various branches, including N Paint Rock Cr and Middle Paint Rock Cr. The topographical relief is marked by prominent summits such as Cement Mtn, Elk Mtn, and Buck Mtn.

Lower-lying clearings and meadows provide geographical contrast, notably at Long Park and the curiously named Bellyache Flats near Bellyache Spring. Movement through this wilderness is documented by an extensive system of pack trails and backcountry routes, such as the Solitude Loop Trl, Main Paintrock Trl, and Bald Ridge Atv Trl. These paths connect remote water bodies like Poacher Lake, Grace Lake, and Lost Lake, reflecting the region's long-standing use for recreation and resource management.
