About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape within the Absaroka Range, where the boundary between Park and Fremont counties follows the primary drainage divides. The topography is defined by dramatic peaks and alpine basins, containing numerous water bodies including Green Lake, Sheep Lake, and its namesake Emerald Lake.

Traditional travel routes through these mountains are preserved as a network of trails such as the Emerald Lake Trl and the Frontier Creek Trl. These paths provide access to remote landmarks with evocative names like the Devils Graveyard and Lost Ranger Top. The map also details the headwaters of several drainages, including Needle Cr and Gentian Cr, which flow from the high-altitude summits of Red Tops and Crescent Top.
