1991 Map of Jim Smith Peak

About this map

Jim Smith Peak and Squaw Peak tower over the high-altitude landscape of Park County, where the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves a path through the Shoshone National Forest. This 1991 survey illustrates the remote character of northwestern Wyoming, centered on the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness and its rugged system of creeks like Index Creek and Onemile Creek. The human presence here is defined by high-country transit and isolated ranching, including the B Four Ranch and the Beartooth Scenic Byway which traverses the river valley. Notable for hydrologists and geologists, the map documents glacial features like Beartooth Lake and Big Moose Lake, alongside smaller alpine bodies like Ivy Lake and Little Moose Lake. The inclusion of the Crandall Trail and a local Gravel Pit reflects the ongoing utility of these protected lands for both recreation and essential maintenance.
