About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Absaroka Range, where topographical relief is defined by prominent summits and deep drainage basins. High points like Clouds Home Peak, Gobblers Knob, and Kingfisher Peak punctuate the ridgelines, while the distinctive Horses Head and Ishawooa Mesa offer significant landmarks for navigating this wilderness.

Movement through the interior relies on a network of established paths following the natural hydrology of the region. The Ishawooa Trl and Deer Cr Trl trace the valleys of Ishawooa Cr and Deer Cr, respectively, providing the primary access through the steep terrain. This map captures the intersection of early forest management and the enduring wild character of the Wapiti Ridge area, showing how trails like the Lapalli Cr Trl and Cut Coulee Trl link the various forks and peaks of the Wyoming high country.
