About this map

Dunrud Peak and its surrounding heights dominate this high-elevation landscape at the intersection of Park, Hot Springs, and Fremont counties. Within the expansive boundaries of the Shoshone National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as Dollar Mountain, Mount Sniffel, and the prominent Steamboat Rock near the Wind River. The map captures a moment in the 1990s when wilderness management was central to the region, showing the convergence of the Washakie Wilderness and Greybull Wind River Wilderness.

Transport through this backcountry relies on a historic network of trails rather than roads, including the East Fork Trail and Cascade Creek Trail. These paths navigate critical gaps like East Fork Pass and Coal Chute Pass, which served as essential corridors for movement across the mountain ranges long before modern infrastructure. The eastern edge is defined by the Wind River Indian Res Bdy, marking a significant cultural and administrative border on the landscape.
