About this map

The high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate this 2018 study of the Wyoming wilderness. Centered within the Shoshone National Forest, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the S Fork Shoshone River and its numerous tributaries, including Younts Cr and Robinson Cr. The area is characterized by significant topographic relief, rising to named summits such as Hardluck Mtn and Ash Mtn.

Navigation through this primitive terrain is limited to historic paths, primarily the S Fork Trail and Saddle Creek Trail. These routes follow the natural drainages and mountain gaps, such as Cougar Pass in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary where Fremont County meets Park County, providing a clear view of the high-altitude hydrology including Gentian Cr and Cougar Cr as they carve through the mountain slopes.
