About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of northwestern Wyoming, where the boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest follows the high-altitude ridgelines. High peaks like Ash Mtn tower over a complex network of drainage basins that feed the S Fork Shoshone River as it flows north through the eastern corridor.

Remote and roadless, the landscape is defined by its deep canyons and named tributaries, including Fall Cr, Silver Cr, and Needle Cr. These watercourses illustrate the dramatic vertical relief of the territory, with Cabin Cr and Bruin Cr cutting through the western sections of the forests. This 2015 survey provides a modern topographical record of these protected wilderness areas, documenting the precise contours and hydrologic features of the high backcountry before any major environmental shifts.
