2023 Map of Muddy Creek

About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Beartooth Mountains in this 2023 survey of Park County. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a network of alpine waters including Lake Reno, Granite Lake, and Lily Lake. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River corridor, where modern infrastructure meets historical routes. The Beartooth National Scenic Byway winds across the center, providing access to the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness and the North Absaroka Wilderness. For those tracing local land use and transportation history, the presence of the Old Cooke City Rd alongside modern forest access trails like the Clay Butte Trl reveals the evolution of mountain passage in this part of Wyoming. Further east, Clay Butte serves as a prominent landmark overlooking the high lakes region.
