About this map

Sunlight Basin dominates this landscape in the early 1990s, where the winding course of Sunlight Creek meets numerous mountain drainages. The area is defined by its status as a protected wilderness, split between the Shoshone National Forest and the North Absaroka Wilderness. A distinct Wilderness Boundary line cuts across the southern terrain near Elkhorn Peak, separating different levels of forest management and land use.

Administrative and recreational markers like the Sunlight Ranger Station and a Private Campground indicate the intersection of public service and private interests within the valley. Topographical features such as Bald Ridge and Deweys Gateway highlight the complex high-altitude geography of Park County, while water features like Gravelbar Creek and Indian Creek illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the Absaroka Range.
