1970 Map of Lake Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Park County, where the topography is characterized by the massive presence of Wapiti Ridge. Mapped in 1970, the area remains remarkably wild, preserved within the Washakie Wilderness where no roads are found, only the established Pack Trail winding through the drainage basins. The intricate network of waterways, including Elk Fork, Lake Creek, and Bloom Creek, illustrates a natural drainage system untouched by development. For the researcher or outdoorsman, the map reveals the specific geographic markers of the era, from the secluded reaches of Seclusion Creek to the descriptive Burned Timber Creek and Bear Gulch. This survey provides an essential record of the high-country terrain before modern satellite mapping, capturing the literal layout of the land as it was navigated on foot or horseback during the early 1970s.
