1991 Map of Eagle Creek

About this map

Middle Fork Shoshone River carves a deep path through this section of the Shoshone National Forest, serving as a primary corridor for travel and recreation in the early 1990s. The settlement of Pahaska and the Sleeping Giant Winter Sports Area mark the northwestern corner, where the topography transitions into the designated Absaroka Wilderness. A distinct mining history is evident further south near Crouch Creek at the Crouch Mine, situated among the steep drainages that feed into Eagle Creek. Most of the landscape is dominated by the Washakie Wilderness, a primitive expanse where drainage networks like Kitty Creek and Cloudburst Creek converge toward the Eagle Creek Meadows. The map reveals a land defined by high-elevation watersheds and the limited footprint of human industry, primarily confined to the river valley and scattered historical mining claims.
