About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, where the North Fork Shoshone River carves a central path through the terrain. The topography is defined by a series of uniquely named geological formations along the river corridor, including Old Woman Cabin Rock, Slipper Rock, and the complex known as Holy City. These landmarks likely served as vital navigation points for early travelers through the mountain passes.

Water management and accessibility are central themes, evidenced by the presence of the Big Cr Ditch and N Fork-Valley Ditch near the eastern boundary. A dense network of paths, such as the Horse Cr Trail, Nameit Cr Trail, and Grizzly Ridge Trail, suggests a long history of wilderness traversal. High-altitude points like Signal Peak and Wapiti Ridge provide clear markers for the vast forest interior.
