About this map

The Shoshone National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape within the Absaroka Range, defined by a network of drainage systems and significant mountain passes. High points such as Pat O'Hara Mtn and Pat O'Hara Peak dominate the eastern topography, while Dead Indian Pass serves as a critical point of transit through the terrain in the northeast.

Water and travel routes are inextricably linked here, with established pathways like the Dead Indian Creek Trl and Morning Creek Trl following the natural contours of the land. Significant clearings and water sources, including Dead Indian Meadows, Bear Springs, and the Elk Lakes, provide focal points for understanding the historical use of this wilderness. The map documents a complex system of named tributaries, such as Rattlesnake Cr and Big Tree Cr, that feed the larger waterways of the Wyoming interior.
