1960 Map of Lake Solitude

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Bighorn National Forest serves as the backdrop for this high-altitude 1960 field survey, where the seasonal patterns of the cattle industry are recorded through remote outposts like Crain Camp and Hyatt Cow Camp. The landscape is dominated by glacial features and alpine waters, most notably the high basin of Lake Solitude and the drainages of Paint Rock Creek. A network of pack trails and jeep trails navigates the varied terrain between Cement Mountain and Elk Mountain, connecting isolated meadows such as Battle Park and Long Park. The presence of Buck Creek Cow Camp and family-named landmarks like Buckskin Ed Creek and Bellyache Flats provides concrete evidence of the area's mid-century grazing history and the local nomenclature used by those who worked this mountain range.
