About this map

Hoback Peak serves as a central high point for this high-elevation wilderness in Wyoming, where a complex network of drainages flows toward the Hoback River. The landscape is defined by its seasonal meadows and high passes, including the notable Horse Heaven Meadows and Roosevelt Meadows. These names suggest a history of grazing or exploration in the backcountry long before modern mapping efforts.

Hydrological features are the primary landmarks here, from the dramatic Cliff Creek Falls near Cliff Creek Pass to the uniquely named Hole in the Wall Cr. Transport into this area is limited to the southeastern corner via Upper Hoback River Rd, highlighting the remote nature of the terrain. Researchers and geographers can trace the sequence of tributaries including First Cr, Second Cr, and Third Cr as they feed into the Little Greys River.
