About this map

Shoshone Lake anchors the southern portion of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of the Continental Divide begin their long journeys through the hydrologic network. The terrain is defined by critical transit points including Craig Pass and Norris Pass, which have historically facilitated movement across this high-country divide. The hydrography is particularly dense here, with numerous alpine drainages such as De Lacy Cr, Herron Cr, and Spring Cr feeding into larger basins.

Small, high-altitude water bodies like De Lacy Lakes and Pocket Lake dot the map, illustrating the glaciated character of the region. Features like Corkscrew Hill reflect the winding nature of the early roadways and the logistical challenges of navigating this environment. The presence of Big Thumb Cr and Little Thumb Cr indicates the proximity to major geothermal and lacustrine systems just beyond the immediate drainage basins.
