2017 Map of East Fork Basin

About this map

East Fork Basin sits at the heart of this high-elevation wilderness within the Shoshone National Forest, where the headwaters of the E Fork Wind River gather from the surrounding peaks. The landscape is defined by the sharp topography of the Absaroka Range, carved by a dense network of drainages including Beaver Cr, Pine Cr, and Needle Cr. This map documents the essential corridors for backcountry travel, specifically the E Fork Trail and the Tepee Creek Trail, which navigate the steep terrain between basins and the open stretches of Mountain Meadows. The drainage patterns, such as the convergence of Lake Cr and Sheep Cr, reveal the complex hydrological structure of this protected alpine environment.
