2011 Map of Silver Run Peak

About this map

Silver Run Peak and the high summits of the Beartooth range dominate this 2011 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by dramatic elevation and alpine hydrology. The region is characterized by a dense concentration of high-altitude basins, where features like September Morn Lake and Keyser Brown Lake feed into the Lake Fork and West Fork Rock Creek. The map documents a topography of severe verticality, from the broad plateau of Beartooth Mountain to the sharp profiles of Whitetail Peak and Thunder Mountain. This network of glacial lakes, including the uniquely named Sky Pilot Lake, Moon Lake, and Frosty Lake, demonstrates how drainage patterns are dictated by the massive granite massifs of Mount Rearguard and Sundance Mountain. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the wilderness character of these high-country divides.
