About this map

Dead Indian Peak and the formidable limestone escarpment known as The Wall dominate this landscape in the eastern Absaroka Range. This 2012 U.S. Geological Survey representation of the high-altitude terrain north of the North Fork Shoshone River drainage shows a wilderness area defined by steep drainages and prominent summits. Water flows from the heights through numerous named tributaries, including Dead Indian Cr and the centrally located Big Cr, which features the dramatic Big Creek Falls.

The map highlights the complex hydrological network of the region, where Grizzly Cr and Horse Cr carve deep paths through the backcountry. To the northeast, the summit of Trout Peak stands as a landmark overlooking the confluence of Trout Cr. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primitive state of this mountain territory, preserved here with contemporary precision for hikers and researchers studying the geography of Park County.
