2015 Map of Castle Rock

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the rugged high-elevation landscape of this Fremont County quadrangle, situated within the Absaroka Range. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, ranging from the summit of Mt Kent to the deep incisions of Bear Creek Canyon. High-country water features are prominent, including Goose Lake and the drainage of the East Fork Wind River, which flows through the southeastern corner. A network of creeks like Castle Cr, Alkali Cr, and Waynes Cr carve through the ridges and basins. Evidence of land use and navigation is found along Bear Creek Rd, providing access to distinct local landmarks such as Waynes Hole, Bear Basin, and the prominent Castle Rock. This map details the complex drainage patterns and ridgelines of the forest interior before these waters reach the larger Wyoming river systems.
