1895 Map of Ishawooa

USGS Topo · Published 1895

About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this 1893 survey, showing the high-altitude landscape of northwest Wyoming before the modern era of the national park system. The map documents the Yellowstone Park Forest Reservation, a precursor to today's protected wilderness, revealing a territory defined by peaks like Ishawooa Cone and the broad Ishawooa Mesa. Of particular interest to mining historians is the Stinkingwater Mining Region near Needle Mt. and Crater Mt., where the headwaters of the Shoshone River and the North Fork Stinkingwater River emerge from the high ridges. These labels preserve the early nomenclature of the region, including the original name for the Shoshone River system. Geographer A.H. Thompson and topographer Frank Tweedy captured the intricate drainage patterns of Thorofare Creek and Eagle Creek, providing a foundational record of the high country's hydrology and landforms.
