1969 Map of Cottonwood Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the rugged topography of this 1969 field-checked survey, spanning the boundary between Park and Hot Springs counties. The area is characterized by high-elevation drainage systems, most notably where the North Fork Owl Creek and South Fork Owl Creek converge near the southern edge of the sheet. Rising prominently at the center is Cottonwood Peak, a landmark surrounded by an intricate network of seasonal waterways including Middle Gooseberry Creek and Chimney Creek. The sparse human footprint in this high-country landscape is represented by isolated outposts like Corral and Cow Camp, reflecting the seasonal grazing and forest management patterns of the mid-20th century. Researchers can trace the early trails and drainage divides that separated the Wind River basin from the Bighorn basin, anchored by geological formations like Castle Rocks.
