2015 Map of Clayton Mountain

About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River carves through the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, following a corridor that serves as a primary artery through the Absaroka Range. The map reveals a dramatic topography defined by towering peaks such as Clayton Mtn, Double Mtn, and the distinctive Post Point. This terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems, including the Clearwater Cr, Sweetwater Cr, and Elk Fork, which all feed toward the central river valley. Human presence is concentrated along the narrow riparian strip where the Sweetwater Creek Rd and other routes navigate the steep elevation changes. This 2015 survey provides a modern record of the land use and protected status of this Wyoming wilderness, documenting the intersection of primitive forest roads and the natural watercourses that define the region's geography.
