About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape of the Absaroka Range, dominated by the towering Pinnacle Buttes and the sprawling Elk Ridge. The drainage patterns of the upper Wind River basin are clearly visible, with numerous tributaries like Lava Cr, Sheridan Cr, and Clint Cr carving through the terrain. This environment is defined by its water features, ranging from the high Kisinger Lakes and Pelham Lake to the marshy Basin Creek Meadows.

A network of historical and modern paths crisscrosses the forest, most notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which follows the high ridges. Other established routes like the Pinnacles Trail, Pelham Lake Trl, and Wolf Creek Trail provide access to the backcountry. The map also reveals the drop of the Brooks Lake Creek Falls, illustrating the steep vertical relief and the hydrological complexity of this corner of Fremont County.
