1991 Map of Muddy Creek

About this map

Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves a significant path through this high-altitude landscape within the Shoshone National Forest. This 1991 revision emphasizes the critical intersection of modern transport and protected wildlands, notably where the Beartooth Highway meets the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. The map details a transition from managed forest to the high-alpine environments of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness and the North Absaroka Wilderness. For researchers, the presence of the Clay Butte Lookout Visitors Center and the State Highway Maintenance Station identifies key infrastructure supporting travelers and forest management in this remote region. Glacial hydrology is evident through a series of named alpine basins, including Granite Lake, Lake Reno, and Lily Lake, alongside the drainage of Muddy Creek.
