About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River carves through the heart of the Shoshone National Forest in this late-twentieth-century study, where the highway corridor serves as the primary artery for local ranching and recreation. The settlement at Wapiti and several established outposts like Circle H Ranch, Grizzly Ranch, and Rimrock Ranch line the river valley, providing a human footprint at the edge of the wilderness.

North and south of the river, the landscape is defined by the high peaks and volcanic formations of the Absaroka Mountains. Significant geologic landmarks with evocative names such as Anvil Rock, Slipper Rock, and the Holy City formations overlook the valley. The map clearly delineates the transition into the North Absaroka Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness, tracing the rugged drainages of Horse Creek, Grizzly Creek, and Canyon Creek into the high country toward Flag Peak.
