1989 Map of Elkhorn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Sunlight Creek cuts through the center of this terrain within the Shoshone National Forest, creating a focal point for the isolated drainages and ridges that define the area in the late 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the North Absaroka Wilderness, which covers the northern and southern reaches, separated by the lower-elevation Sunlight Basin. This area is marked by its specialized administrative and recreational infrastructure, notably the Sunlight Ranger Station and various pack trails. The convergence of numerous named drainages like Dead Indian Creek, Gravelbar Creek, and Little Sunlight Creek into the main valley illustrates a complex watershed. High points like Elkhorn Peak and Little Bald Ridge provide structural bounds to the wilderness, while the absence of developed roads highlights the primitive character of the Shoshone back-country.
