2012 Map of Jaggar Peak

About this map

Jaggar Peak and Mount Pleasant anchor this high-altitude landscape in Park County, where the drainages of the Absaroka range converge. The map documents a rugged hydrographic system characterized by the Sweetwater Cr and its notable Sweetwater Creek Falls, along with the Sweetwater Mineral Springs at the southern edge. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the seasonal Winona Camp in the north and the forest roads that navigate the complex terrain. The intricate network of waterways, including Turret Cr, Clearwater Cr, and Sulphur Cr, highlights the importance of these mountain watersheds to the broader regional ecosystem. Distinctive geological formations like Nipple Mesa provide clear landmarks for researchers and land managers studying the backcountry geography of northwestern Wyoming in the early 21st century.
