About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of the Wind River drain a complex network of seasonal and perennial streams. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like Elk Ridge and open meadows such as Esmond Park, which provide critical reference points for backcountry navigation. The hydrography is particularly intricate, featuring high-country bodies of water like Trail Lake and Gap Lake alongside numerous named drainages including Long Creek and Sixmile Cr.

Access to this wilderness is largely restricted to primitive routes, including the Falls Creek Trl and Dunoir Trl, alongside the established Dunoir Rd. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by natural drainage patterns rather than industrial development, emphasizing the preservation of the national forest's core. For researchers, the precise placement of these trails and creeks provides a clear picture of the land's character before modern digital updates may have altered forest boundaries or trail designations.
