1991 Map of Clouds Home Peak

About this map

Wapiti Ridge and the high elevations of Clouds Home Peak dominate this topographical study of the Absaroka Range within the Shoshone National Forest. This 1991 revision, based on 1969 aerial photography, documents a protected landscape where the Washakie Wilderness boundary dictates land use and access. The drainage patterns of Ishawooa Creek and Deer Creek illustrate the high-relief environment, carving deep paths through Ishawooa Mesa and the surrounding peaks. Geologists and topographical enthusiasts will note the distinct landforms such as Horses Head and Gobblers Knob, which provide clear landmarks for navigating this remote terrain. The map also traces the Twelfth Standard Parallel North, a key surveying line that anchors the geographic coordinates of the high wilderness.
