About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of northwestern Wyoming, where the headwaters of the South Fork Shoshone River carve through high-elevation terrain. This 2021 survey documents the boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and the Teton National Forest, a divide characterized by a network of backcountry paths rather than developed roads. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Silver Cr, Valley Fork, and Bruin Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.

Outdoor researchers and backcountry historians can trace established routes such as the Fall Creek Trl, Needle Creek Trl, and the Saddle Creek Trl. The map illustrates the convergence of these trails at the river, reflecting long-standing patterns of movement through the wilderness. This modern record preserves the exact placement of these namesake features within the vast protected forests of Park County.
