1970 Map of Eagle Creek

About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River carves a deep path through this corner of the Shoshone National Forest, marking a landscape defined by its transition from managed recreation to protected wildlands. Established boundaries for the Absaroka Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness intersect here, highlighting the mid-century push for preservation in the high country. Along the river corridor, the Sleeping Giant Winter Sports Area and several camps like Pahaska Campground serve as recreational gateways before the terrain shifts into the roadless interior.
