About this map

Wolf Glacier and Grasshopper Glacier anchor this high-elevation mountain terrain where the boundaries of Stillwater and Park counties meet. The landscape is defined by the protected wilderness of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness and the Custer National Forest. Glacial activity and high-alpine hydrology are the primary features, with a dense network of lakes including Corkscrew Lake, Frenco Lake, and the remote Grasshopper Lakes feeding into the Stillwater River and Rosebud Creek systems.

Evidence of seasonal human presence is limited to a network of a Pack Trail routes and the presence of a Guard Sta near Big Park. The names on the map, such as Courthouse Mountain, Wolf Mountain, and Sawtooth Mountain, reflect the sharp, distinct topography of the region. This 1980s record serves as a precise accounting of glacial ice extent and high-altitude water sources before more recent environmental shifts.
