1970 Map of Clouds Home Peak

About this map

Clouds Home Peak and the high ridges of the Washakie Wilderness dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Shoshone National Forest as it was documented in 1970. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Ishawooa Creek, Deer Creek, and Lapalli Creek, which are punctuated by numerous unnamed falls throughout the quadrangle. High-country landmarks such as Wapiti Ridge and Ishawooa Mesa provide significant orientation points for the area's geography. A network of Pack Trails serves as the primary means of navigation through these peaks, connecting distant features like Gobblers Knob and Kingfisher Peak. The map illustrates a period of wilderness management within the Shoshone National Forest, showing how geological features like Horses Head and Scoria were documented for public use and conservation before modern digital surveying.
