About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Wood River and its numerous tributaries carve through the Absaroka Range. The drainage pattern here is particularly intricate, with the Middle Fork Wood River and S Fork Wood River converging near the eastern boundary, while the western portion is defined by the massive rise of Dundee Mtn.

A network of primitive routes facilitates travel through the drainage basins, including the Timber Creek / Deer Creek Trail and the Kirwin Trl. Named landmarks like The Meadows suggest traditional grazing or camping areas along the riparian corridors. High-altitude water bodies, including the Dick Cr Lakes at the northern edge, provide a glimpse into the hydrography of this remote wilderness area prior to modern climate shifts.
