2012 Map of Hardluck Mountain

About this map

Hardluck Mountain and Ash Mountain dominate this corner of the Absaroka Range, where high-altitude drainages feed the S Fork Shoshone River. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, extending from the broad Shoshone Plateau to the geological curiosity of the Petrified Forest in the southeast. Numerous creeks, including Eafork Cr, Gentian Cr, and Robinson Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate watershed patterns of the Wyoming wilderness. The presence of Cougar Pass suggests the historic natural corridors used to navigate this demanding topography, which remains largely free of modern infrastructure and development. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage networks and named peaks that have guided travelers and geologists through this portion of Fremont County for decades.
