About this map

The Shoshone National Forest landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation changes of the Beartooth Mountains, where the Clarks Fork Wild and Scenic River carves through the massive Clarks Fork Canyon. This protected corridor features steep-walled geology including Bald Peak and the high spine of Bald Ridge, alongside historical geographic markers like Dead Indian Hill and the Natural Corral.

Hydrological features are central to this area, from the cascading Bridal Veil Falls to the alluvial deposits at Cyclone Bar. For researchers of Wyoming's wilderness history, the map documents the primitive transportation network that facilitates access to these remote reaches, such as Canyon Rd and the Bald Ridge Trl. The map also preserves the courses of numerous high-altitude tributaries including Newmeyer Cr, Sheep Cr, and Dead Indian Gulch.
