About this map

Hardluck Mountain and the high elevations of the Shoshone Plateau dominate this remote pocket of Wyoming as it was documented in the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by the high-alpine drainage systems of the South Fork Creek, East Fork Creek, and Robinson Creek, which carve deep through the Shoshone National Forest. This survey captures the boundary where the Washakie Wilderness begins, an area preserved from development and accessible primarily by trails like the Cougar Pass Trail.

The border between Park and Fremont Counties follows the ridge lines and roads, most notably along the Wapti Wind River Rd. This corridor provides a rare point of human ingress into a terrain otherwise marked by peaks such as Ash Mountain. The map reflects a period of modern forest management and conservation, where the primary infrastructure consists of approximate locations for historic trails rather than paved networks.
