2017 Map of Muddy Creek

About this map

The Beartooth Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Shoshone National Forest, where a complex network of trails and drainage systems defines the terrain. The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Ghost Cr and Beartooth Cr. High-country water bodies like Lake Reno, Lost Lake, and Granite Lake are connected by a historical web of footpaths, including the Lake Reno Trail and Granite Lake Trail. The presence of L Bar T Ranch Rd and the Beartooth National Scenic Byway indicate the integration of ranching access and modern tourism into this protected wilderness. At the eastern edge, Clay Butte stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the deep canyons and alpine meadows that characterize this portion of Park County.
