1970 Map of Chimney Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River carves a deep path through the heart of the Shoshone National Forest, creating a corridor of activity in a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and dramatic geological formations. Along the river, landmarks such as The Palisades, Elephant Head Rock, and Chimney Rock highlight the unique topography of the canyon. This 1970 survey captures the area’s role as a gateway to the high country, with the Wayfarers Chapel and Buffalo Bill Camp serving as focal points for travelers and residents along the road to Yellowstone. North and south of the river corridor, the terrain transitions into the North Absaroka Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness. A network of historic paths, including the Fire Memorial Trail (Pack), provides access to the remote backcountry where numerous creeks like Fishhawk Creek and Blackwater Creek drain the surrounding heights.
