About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the Absaroka Range. The boundary between these two major federal lands is defined by a significant drainage divide, where waters flow toward disparate creek systems like S Cache Cr and Timber Cr. At the heart of this terrain lies Canoe Lake, a focal point for backcountry travel.

Remote access is documented through established paths including the Canoe Lake Trail and the Bootjack Gap Trail, which follow the natural contours of the mountain passes. The map illustrates a wilderness largely untouched by modern road infrastructure, emphasizing the historical reliance on these trails for navigation between the high ridges and the valley floor of Miller Cr. This 2015 edition provides a precise record of the physical geography and administrative borders within one of the country's most significant protected natural areas.
