About this map

Shoshone National Forest and the protected Washakie Wilderness define this high-altitude landscape in Park County. The topography is dominated by massive landforms like Clouds Home Peak and Wapiti Ridge, where steep drainages create numerous Falls along Ishawooa Creek and Deer Creek. The drainage patterns show a series of tributary creeks, including Lapolli Creek, Scoria Creek, and Legg Creek, carved into the terrain between Shawooa Mesa and Horses Head.

Mapping by the Geological Survey reveals a landscape accessible only by a primitive Pack Trail network, with no established roads penetrating this section of the wilderness. Landmarks such as Gobblers Knob, Kingfisher Peak, and the distinct Cut Coulee provided essential orientation for early backcountry travel in the region. The map preserves the 1970 state of these drainages and peaks, reflecting the area's transition into formal wilderness management.
