About this map

The Bighorn National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where numerous tributaries of the Tensleep drainage converge. At the center of the sheet, Meadow Lark Lake and the Tensleep Reservoir serve as significant water management features within the rugged mountain terrain. The map captures the complex hydrology of the region, including E Tensleep Cr, W Tensleep Cr, and Bull Cr, which flow through deep-cut valleys toward the southwest.

High-altitude landmarks such as Bald Ridge, Deer Park, and Bear Park offer specific locations for understanding the historical geography of this part of the Bighorn Mountains. The presence of Ten Sleep Rd provides the primary transit corridor through the area, eventually leading toward the dramatic descent into Tensleep Canyon at the southwestern corner. For those interested in alpine geography, the sheet documents several smaller named lakes, including East Tensleep Lake and Lake McPain.
