2024 Map of Yogo Peak

About this map

Little Belt Mountains topography dominates this section of the Lewis and Clark National Forest, where the high-altitude terrain reveals a history of resource extraction and rugged transit. Yogo Peak and Big Baldy Mtn serve as the primary anchors for a landscape marked by historic mining activity, specifically at the Canoy Mine and Finn Claims near Silver Gulch. These sites point to the mineral-driven development of the region, while a network of paths like the Dry Wolf Trl and Jefferson Creek Trl suggests a long-standing reliance on trail-based access through the steep gulches. Natural water features, including Twin Lakes, Rhoda Lake, and the headwaters of Dry Wolf Creek, are situated among prominent peaks such as Cabin Mtn and Coyote Peak. This survey provides an essential record of the physical landmarks and named claims that have defined the Judith Basin backcountry.
