About this map

Sylvan Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Custer National Forest dominate this 2014 survey of Carbon County. The landscape is defined by massive alpine features, including the East Rosebud Plateau, Red Lodge Creek Plateau, and Silver Run Plateau. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where the W Red Lodge Cr and Hellroaring Cr carve deep paths through the rock.

Numerous alpine lakes and water features are scattered throughout the territory, such as Lake Sylvan, Crow Lake, and Lake Mary. Significant vertical drops are marked by Calamity Falls and Sentinel Falls along the W Fork Rock Cr. The presence of Quinnebaugh Meadows provides a distinct break in the alpine topography, while peaks like Butcher Mtn, Crow Mtn, and Elk Mtn underscore the elevation changes across this portion of the Beartooth Range.
