About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of Park County, where high-altitude peaks and deep drainage basins define the northern Wyoming landscape. Hunter Peak serves as a prominent landmark overlooking the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River valley to the northeast. Much of the western territory is protected as the North Absaroka Wilderness within the broader Shoshone National Forest, preserving a network of trails that trace the historical movement through these mountains.

Evidence of early transport and land use appears in the remnants of the Old Cody-City Rd and the presence of Flat Ranch Rd near the river. A sophisticated hydrological system is mapped in detail, showing how Crandall Creek and its many branches, including the North Fork Crandall Creek, carve through the complex terrain. The map also delineates specialized access points like the N Crandall Th, essential for navigating the ascent toward Hurricane Mesa.
