About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the character of this 1991 survey, which captures the remote reaches of the Absaroka Range before the turn of the millennium. The northeastern corner contains the most concentrated human activity, centered around the Crandall Ranger Station and the Clarks Fork Scenic Highway where it meets the Yellowstone River. These landmarks serve as the gateway to a vast backcountry network of paths, including the Crandall Trail and Papoose Trail.

High-altitude landmarks such as Hunter Peak tower over a complex drainage system fed by Crandall Creek and its many tributaries. The boundary of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness bisects the sheet, separating the managed forest from protected primitive land. This map is an essential reference for tracing the early 1990s management of Park County’s high country, detailing the specific routes and drainages that have served hunters and conservationists for decades.
