2021 Map of Lake Creek

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the rugged verticality of this Park County landscape, where the high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate the eastern topography. The drainage system is anchored by the Elk Fork, which collects a network of high-altitude tributaries including Lake Creek, Bloom Creek, and Seclusion Creek. In the southern portion of the sheet, the dramatic elevation of Wapiti Ridge overlooks Barron Creek and the deep incision of Cut Coulee. Access through this wilderness area is marked by established paths such as the Cabin Creek Trail and Cut Coulee Trail, which follow the natural contours of the gulches and ridges. The map illustrates a high-country environment where topographical features like Bear Gulch and Rampart Creek dictate the movement of water and travelers alike, reflecting the remote character of northwest Wyoming's protected lands.
