About this map

The Shoshone National Forest encompasses this wilderness area in the eastern reaches of the Absaroka Range. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage of the East Fork Wind River, which flows through the East Fork Basin. This modern survey illustrates the natural hydrology of the region, featuring an intricate network of mountain streams including Beaver Cr, Lake Cr, and Needle Cr.

Evidence of human movement through this backcountry is preserved in the Tepee Creek Trl and East Fork Trl, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys. The map also highlights established grazing or camping areas such as Mountain Meadows, showing the enduring character of this protected Wyoming territory. The detailed topography reveals the complex land-use patterns common in national forest lands, where seasonal use and watershed management remain primary focuses.
