About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of the Shoshone National Forest, characterized by high peaks and a dense network of mountain drainages. At the heart of the landscape, Jim Mtn rises above the surrounding valleys, accessible by the winding path of Jim Mountain Rd. The terrain is carved by numerous watercourses with evocative names like Laughing Water Cr, Robbers Roost Cr, and Singing Brook, which feed into larger systems such as Trout Cr.

In the northeast, Rattlesnake Canyon provides a significant geological break, flanked by the Rattlesnake Creek Rd. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily managed for its natural resources and topography, showing how early nomenclature for local landmarks—such as Gunnysack Cr and Big Tree Cr—persists in modern federal land records. The lack of concentrated settlement highlights the region's character as a protected high-altitude forest environment.
