1991 Map of Cottonwood Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Cottonwood Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-country survey, marking a significant point on the boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and the Washakie Wilderness. This area, situated along the county line between Park County and Hot Springs County, is characterized by a complex drainage system that feeds multiple forks of the Bighorn Basin. To the north, the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek and Middle Gooseberry Creek originate near Twin Lakes, while the southern slopes descend toward the North Fork Owl Creek and South Fork Owl Creek. The presence of the Wind River Trail and the Eleventh Standard Parallel North indicates the established surveying corridors used to navigate this mountainous terrain. Prominent geological features like Castle Rocks define the lower elevations, providing clear navigational markers for those traveling through the forest interior.
