About this map

The North Absaroka Wilderness and Shoshone National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape in the late 1980s. A network of backcountry access routes, including the Crandall Cutoff Trail and the North Fork Trail, suggests a terrain shaped by drainage divides and ridgelines. The prominent Hunter Peak rises above the confluence of several mountain streams, including Crandall Creek and Lodgepole Creek.

Evidence of federal land management is anchored by the Crandall Ranger Station near the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, from the headwaters of Temple Creek to the secluded Oliver Gulch. This survey captures the transition from managed forest lands to the protected wilderness boundary, reflecting the area's conservation status and its role as a watershed for the Ghost Creek and Hoodoo Creek tributaries.
