About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 1991 survey, dominated by the towering summits of Dead Indian Peak 12216 and Trout Peak 12244. The geography is shaped by the complex drainage systems of the North Absaroka Wilderness, where water moves from high alpine basins down through steep canyons. Big Creek Falls serves as a prominent hydrological landmark along Big Creek, while other drainages like Gravelbar Creek and Dead Indian Creek carve deep through the volcanic terrain of the Absaroka Range.

Administratively, the map covers the Clarks Fork Wapiti Ranger District, showing the Wilderness Boundary as it interacts with the Thirteenth Standard Parallel North. For researchers of Wyoming's backcountry history, the map provides precise locations for named peaks like Crag and various tributaries including Bill Creek and Crest Creek, recording the wilderness character of the region before the turn of the twenty-first century.
