1996 Map of Silver Run Peak

About this map

Silver Run Plateau dominates the high alpine landscape of this 1996 revision, where the borders of the Custer, Gallatin, and Shoshone national forests converge. The map documents an intensely glaciated terrain within the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, characterized by a dense concentration of high-altitude water bodies such as Jasper Lake, Kookoo Lake, and the Cloverleaf Lakes. The presence of the Beartooth Gardiner Ranger District and Clarks Fork Ranger District boundaries highlights the administrative complexity of managing these headwaters. Notable peaks like Silver Run Peak, Whitetail Peak, and Beartooth Mountain define the massive ridges, while the West Fork Rock Creek cuts through the northern sections, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the Montana and Wyoming borderlands.
