2012 Map of Flag Peak

About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River valley serves as the central artery for this part of Park County, where the transition from river bottom to high peaks is marked by a series of distinctively named geological formations. Landmarks such as Old Woman Cabin Rock, Slipper Rock, and Camel Rock overlook the canyon, while the curiously named Holy City sits tucked against the northern banks. The landscape is shaped by the intersection of recreational tourism and agricultural utility, evidenced by a string of seasonal settlements and campgrounds including Pagoda Creek Summer Homes, Wapiti Campground, and Big Game Campground. Irrigation infrastructure, critical for sustaining local ranching, is clearly visible through the paths of the Canyon Cr Ditch and the North Fork Valley Ditch. Higher elevations are dominated by landmarks like Signal Peak and Flag Peak, which rise above the complex network of drainages including Clocktower Cr and Lost Cr.
