About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 2021 survey, where complex water management systems and trail networks dominate the terrain. At the center of the hydrography is Willow Park Reservoir, supported by the engineered Rock Creek and Piney Diversion Ditch which redirects flow across the high country. To the southwest, Cloud Peak Reservoir and Lake Mead sit at the headwaters of the regional drainage system, surrounded by a dense web of pack trails.

Backcountry access is mapped through several key routes including the Solitude Loop Trl and the Story Penrose Trl, providing passage to remote points like Penrose Park and Frying Pan Lake. The presence of labels such as the 320 Shortcut Trl and the Elk Lake Cutoff Trl suggests a landscape managed for both utility and recreation, where every creek and lake, from Beaver Lakes to Gem Lake, serves as a critical landmark for navigation in the Wyoming wilderness.
