About this map

Bighorn National Forest serves as the backdrop for this high-altitude landscape, where the Cloud Peak Wilderness transition defines the northern reach. The map highlights a network of remote alpine waters, most notably the namesake Lake Solitude and the nearby Grace Lake, situated beneath the eastern slopes of Elk Mountain. The presence of Hyatt Cow Camp and Buck Creek Cow Camp indicates a persistent legacy of high-country grazing and seasonal ranching operations that characterize the region's land use.

Topographically, the area is divided by significant geological landmarks like Middle Fork Ridge and the broad plateau of Bellyache Flats. Significant watercourses, including Paint Rock Creek and Buck Creek, carve through the complex terrain, while the solitary peak of Cement Mountain stands to the west. Evidence of remote access is limited to a handful of jeep trails and the primitive Paintrock Tensleep Rd, providing a detailed look at this corner of Wyoming before more modern developments.
