1991 Map of Geers Point

About this map

Lee City (Aband) sits as a silent vestige of late-nineteenth-century mining ambitions within the high elevations of Park County. This 1991 survey by the U.S. Forest Service documents the rugged drainage of Sunlight Creek, where geothermal activity is evidenced by several Thermal Areas and specialized mineral deposits. The landscape is dominated by steep topographical relief, rising toward the prominent Geers Point and extending into the North Absaroka Wilderness. Below the heights, Little Sunlight Creek and Sulphur Creek carve through the deep valleys of the Shoshone National Forest. Remote water features like Copper Lakes and Strawberry Gulch define the drainage patterns of this high-country terrain, while the Clarks Fork Rd provides the primary access route through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
