2011 Map of Lamar Canyon

About this map

The Lamar River and its numerous tributaries dominate this high-country landscape in northern Wyoming, where the river carves through the dramatic Lamar Canyon and opens into the broad Lamar Valley. The map details an intricate drainage system including Crystal Creek, Quartz Creek, and Jasper Creek, all flowing toward the primary river corridor. To the north, the Buffalo Plateau rises above the drainage of Buffalo Creek and Little Buffalo Creek. Human presence is minimal and focused on backcountry management, notably at the Slough Creek Patrol Cabins located along the winding path of Slough Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's hydrology and topography just before it reaches the Yellowstone River in the southwest corner, providing a precise record of the waterways and named peaks that define this wilderness region.
