2015 Map of Hominy Peak

About this map

Hominy Peak stands as the central landmark of this Wyoming landscape, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Targhee National Forest converge. The area is defined by a series of expansive meadow systems including Gibson Meadows, Squirrel Meadows, Jackass Meadows, and Coyote Meadows, which likely served as critical transit points or seasonal camps. The complex hydrology is anchored by Loon Lake and Moose Lake, feeding a network of alpine streams such as N Boone Cr and Middle Boone Cr. Traces of human activity and access are evidenced by the Ashton-Flagg Ranch road and the Jackass Loop, which provide a framework for navigating the terrain between Conant Basin and Boone Creek Ridge. The map details the transition from lush bottomlands to significant elevations like Carrot Knoll, offering a precise record of the backcountry before the mid-2010s.
