1989 Map of Jaggar Peak

About this map

Shoshone National Forest and the North Absaroka Wilderness dominate this high-altitude landscape in northwest Wyoming. The map records a complex hydrological network where the Sweetwater Creek flows past Sweetwater Falls to meet a series of tributaries, including Turret Creek and Peanut Creek. The topography is defined by prominent high points such as Mount Pleasant and the namesake Jaggar Peak. A single prospect is noted near Sulphur Creek in the northwest, suggesting early mineral exploration in an area otherwise characterized by its protected status. The presence of the Wilderness Boundary indicates the 1980s administrative efforts to preserve the character of the Absaroka Range, showing the transition from forest management to strictly wilderness zones.
