About this map

North Absaroka Wilderness and the Shoshone National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape in Park County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Dead Indian Creek, Morning Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek, which carve through the mountains toward the Dead Indian Meadows. The eastern boundary is marked by the Joseph Scenic Highway as it climbs toward Dead Indian Pass, a critical transition point overlooking the wilderness.

Evidence of high-country management and water resources is scattered throughout, from the remote Ranger Station to named water sources like Spout Springs and Bear Springs. The inclusion of the Thirteenth Guide Meridian West and the Wilderness Boundary provides a clear view of how this protected land was organized in the early 1990s. Landmarks such as Pat O' Hara Mountain and the Elk Lakes provide essential reference points for understanding the topographical complexity of this portion of the Absaroka Range.
