2015 Map of Eagle Peak

About this map

Eagle Peak stands as a prominent landmark within this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park and Shoshone National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Absaroka Range, featuring significant summits like Mt Schurz, Mt Humphreys, and Colter Peak. This topography dictates a network of drainage systems, including Beaverdam Cr and Trappers Cr, which flow through the deep valleys between the peaks. Human presence is marked primarily by backcountry infrastructure, such as Campsite 8C2 and the E Shore Yellowstone Lk Trail. Remote pathways like the Dike Creek Trail and the crossing at Eagle Pass illustrate how travel in this wilderness remains tied to natural corridors and mountain gaps. The map provides a detailed look at the 2015 state of this protected environment, highlighting the isolation of peaks like Table Mtn and Turret Mtn.
