About this map

L Bar Ranch and Hunter Peak Ranch anchor this high-country landscape, representing the enduring presence of historic ranching operations in northwest Wyoming. The area is defined by the significant corridor of the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Squaw Cr and Muddy Cr. In the higher elevations of the northern section, a cluster of alpine water bodies like Lake Reno, Lost Lake, and Granite Lake dot the terrain near Park Rapids.

Modern infrastructure and recreation are intertwined with these natural features, evidenced by the State Highway Maintenance Camp and access points like the Hunter Peak Campground and the Clarks Fork Trailhead. Near the eastern boundary, Clay Butte stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the winding course of the river. The road network, including L Bar T Ranch Rd, provides the primary connective tissue between these isolated ranching outposts and public recreation sites.
