About this map

Dead Indian Peak and the surrounding wilderness of the Shoshone National Forest define this high-elevation landscape in the Absaroka Range. The map reveals a complex network of ridgelines and watercourses, including the notable Big Creek Falls and the dramatic verticality of The Wall. This area is characterized by its lack of vehicular infrastructure, instead relying on a historic system of backcountry paths like the Trout Peak Trl and Grizzly Ridge Trl that navigate the steep transitions between summits and valley floors.

Water drainage patterns are central to the terrain, with Dead Indian Cr, Big Cr, and Trout Cr carving deep into the stone. The survey illustrates the intersection of several townships, including t54n r106w and t53n r105w, providing a precise record of public land subdivisions in a region primarily managed for its natural resources and watershed value. The absence of settlements highlights the enduring wilderness character of this part of Wyoming.
