2020 Map of Silver Run Peak

About this map

The high alpine crest of the Beartooth Mountains dominates this high-altitude survey, where three major federal land reserves—the Custer National Forest, Gallatin National Forest, and Shoshone National Forest—converge at the Montana-Wyoming border. This landscape is defined by its massive plateaus and glacial features, including the Silver Run Plateau and the prominent Silver Run Peak. The hydrography of the region is characterized by dozens of high-elevation basins such as Lonesome Lake, Keyser Brown Lake, and the Silt Lakes, many of which are fed by the remnants of the Grasshopper Glacier and Beartooth Glacier. Significant summits like Whitetail Peak and Medicine Mtn overlook the deep drainages of the Lake Fork, illustrating the stark, glaciated topography of this wilderness corridor.
