About this map

Shoshone National Forest contains the high-elevation divide where the Washakie Wilderness meets the Shoshone Plateau. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins and peaks, including the prominent Cathedral Peak and Raggedtop Mountain. This 1991 revision illustrates a backcountry environment devoid of major roads, where movement is limited to the Ranger District Trail and the natural corridors of the East Fork Wind River and its many tributaries.

Remote alpine lakes like Eloise Lake and Beacon Lake are positioned below high ridgelines such as Ramshorn, while landmarks like Havely Rock and Garden Rock provide orientation within the canyon systems. This survey emphasizes the preservation of the Five Pockets area, noting specific features like Twilight Falls and the isolated Cabin in Ramshorn Basin, reflecting the area's use for Forest Service management and wilderness recreation.
