1996 Map of Sylvan Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness dominates this landscape, defined by high-elevation landforms like the Rosebud Plateau and Sylvan Plateau. This 1990s-era study captures the high country of Custer National Forest, where steep drainage systems like Hellroaring Creek and Red Lodge Creek feed into glacial lakes. Notable peaks such as Sylvan Peak and Bowback Mountain tower over alpine basins, while lower elevations feature open spaces like Quinnpebaugh Meadows. The transition from the rugged crests to the valley floors is marked by water features including Calamity Falls and Sentinel Falls along West Fork Rock Creek. The presence of the Jimmy Joe site and various mountain landmarks such as Three Sisters provides specific points of interest for those studying the remote topography of the Carbon County region.
