About this map

Shoshone National Forest lands dominate this part of northwestern Wyoming, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes. The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves through the landscape, emerging from the narrow Clarks Fork Canyon into the eastern plains. Landmarks like Bald Peak and Bald Ridge overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Newmeyer Cr and Paint Cr.

Evidence of the area's hydrology and topography is seen in features like Bridal Veil Falls and the Natural Corral to the south. While the western half of the map is largely wilderness, the eastern slopes show more human intervention with the presence of Hogan Reservoir and Luce Reservoir. Transportation is limited to a few specific routes like Morrison Rd and CR 8vc, which navigate the steep transition from Dead Indian Hill toward the river valley.
