About this map

Clouds Home Peak and the high ridges of the Absaroka Range dominate this high-altitude landscape in the northern Wyoming wilderness. The topography is defined by sharp elevation shifts between Wapiti Ridge and deep drainages like Ishawooa Cr and Deer Cr. This 2017 survey details the boundary where the Shoshone National Forest meets the Teton National Forest, reflecting a modern record of federal land management in one of the country's most significant protected wilderness areas.

A network of historical backcountry routes provides the primary access through this steep terrain, including the Ishawooa Trail and the Deer Cr Trail. These paths follow the natural contours of the land, connecting landmarks such as Horses Head and Ishawooa Mesa. The map serves as a precise guide for understanding the complex drainage systems and named summits, such as Kingfisher Peak and Gobblers Knob, which have served as navigational waypoints for generations of travelers in the Wyoming high country.
