Meadow Lark Lake: US 16 Big Horn County Line - Road Surface

Meadow Lark Lake occupies a high mountain basin in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains. Surrounded by Bighorn National Forest, this reservoir sits along the Cloud Peak Skyway, the National Scenic Byway that follows U.S. Route 16 across the range. Forest roads and trails lead into a landscape of conifer woods, open meadows and rugged high country, while the nearby Cloud Peak Wilderness preserves a large roadless core of the mountains. Farther north, the Medicine Wheel/Medicine Mountain National Historic Landmark reflects the region’s enduring Indigenous ceremonial traditions.

Wyoming stretches from the Montana border to its frontiers with Colorado and Utah, encompassing the high Rockies, broad basins, and Great Plains. The Continental Divide crosses the state, while the Wind River and Bighorn River drain contrasting sides of its interior. In the northwest, Yellowstone National Park—established in 1872 as the world’s first national park—and Grand Teton National Park place geothermal country and sharp mountain relief at the centre of Wyoming’s identity. Ranching remains integral to its open-country culture, alongside communities shaped by railroads, energy, and outdoor travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
