2012 Map of Fall Creek

About this map

The S Fork Shoshone River carves a deep valley through this corner of the Absaroka Range, creating a primary drainage system for the surrounding high country. In the northern reaches of the river canyon, Majo Ranch stands as a notable landmark of human settlement in an otherwise high-elevation wilderness dominated by watercourses. Numerous tributaries, including Fall Cr, Silver Cr, and Bruin Cr, feed into the river from the west, while Needle Cr and Saddle Cr descend from the eastern slopes. The network of naming, from Aspen Cr to Valley Fork, suggests a landscape defined by its riparian corridors and the seasonal movement of water and wildlife through the montane environment.
