1980 Map of Red Top Mountain

About this map

Bridger National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography is defined by prominent peaks like Mount Fitzpatrick and Red Top Mountain. The area is characterized by a complex network of canyons and hollows, including Gomm Hollow, Mill Hollow, and the steep Timber Slide Canyon. Water is abundant in the form of glacial lakes and high-elevation basins, most notably Swift Creek Lake, Dry Creek Lake, and the clustered Crow Creek Lakes. A remote Campground near the confluence of Cottonwood Lake Creek and North Fork suggests the area's use for recreation and seasonal access. Transportation throughout the region is limited to primitive routes, specifically Pack Trails and a single Jeep Trail, illustrating the wilderness character of the terrain during the late twentieth century.
