About this map

Shoshone National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation terrain, where the Yellowstone River and Clarks Fork Canyon carve dramatic paths through the wilderness. The landscape is defined by massive geographic features like Bald Ridge and Dead Indian Hill, rising near the Fourteenth Standard Parallel North. A network of 4WD trails provides the only vehicular access into these remote reaches, connecting isolated landmarks like the Natural Corral and various water resources including Hogan Reservoir and Luce Reservoir.

Water management and radio communications indicate the modern administrative use of these public lands during the 1990s. While a lone Ranch appears in the northern reaches, the map primarily documents a wild landscape of drainage systems like Newmoyer Creek and Sheep Creek that feed into the larger river valleys. Peaks such as Bald Peak and Cyclone 9724 serve as primary navigational points for surveyors and forest rangers alike.
