2015 Map of Paradise Basin

About this map

Paradise Basin characterizes this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, defined by a complex network of alpine water bodies and prominent summits. The glacial geography of the region is evident in the cluster of lakes such as Steamboat Lake, Hidden Lake, and Upper Paradise Lake, which feed the drainages of Bull Lake Cr and Paradise Cr. These high-country basins are flanked by significant peaks, including Tybo Peak and Lookout Mtn, while Elk Meadow offers a rare break in the vertical relief. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain dominated by wilderness features rather than human settlement, where named landmarks like Horse Mtn and Windy Ridge serve as primary points of orientation. The intricate seasonal flow of Sheep Cr and Wilson Cr through the southern reaches of the quadrangle illustrates the hydraulic patterns that shape the local backcountry.
