2015 Map of Dunrud Peak

About this map

Shoshone National Forest serves as the backdrop for this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Fremont, Park, and Hot Springs counties converge. The high ridges of the Absaroka Range dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, punctuated by landmarks like Steamboat Rock and County Peak. This terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and mountain crossings, including Bear Creek Pass, East Fork Pass, and Coal Chute Pass, which likely provided the only traversable routes through this part of the wilderness. Water flows from these heights through the Wood River and the E Fork Wind River. Named summits like Dunrud Peak, Mt Sniffel, and Bald Mtn illustrate a topography shaped by isolation and severe elevation, with no permanent settlements or major roads recorded in this primitive environment.
