2017 Map of Eagle Peak

About this map

Eagle Peak rises as a central landmark within this high-elevation landscape where three major protected areas meet. The 2017 survey delineates the intersection of Yellowstone National Park, Shoshone National Forest, and Teton National Forest, illustrating a wilderness shaped by the formidable Absaroka Range. The terrain is defined by prominent summits including Atkins Peak, Mt Schurz, and Colter Peak, separated by the deep drainage basins of Eagle Cr and Trappers Cr. Historical backcountry access is represented by established routes such as the Thorofare Trail and Mountain Creek Trail, which navigate the steep grades near Eagle Pass. This map serves as a primary record of the modern hydrological and topographical state of this remote Wyoming alpine environment, capturing the headwaters and ridges that have remained largely unchanged by human development.
