1989 Map of Hurricane Mesa

About this map

Hurricane Mesa dominates the northern reaches of this 1989 survey, a high plateau rising above the headwaters of the Shoshone National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the drainages of the North Fork Crandall Creek and the main Crandall Creek, which carve through the North Absaroka Wilderness. The map reveals a world managed for preservation rather than permanent settlement, where infrastructure is limited to the winding Crandall Trail and various unnamed pack trails.
