2015 Map of Little Saddle Mountain

About this map

Yellowstone National Park encompasses the central and southern portions of this 2015 study, dominated by the high-elevation peaks of the Absaroka Range. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage network of the Lamar River and its many tributaries, including the Little Lamar River, Cold Cr, and Mist Cr. This region of Wyoming remains a primitive backcountry environment where human presence is primarily marked by long-distance paths such as the Lamar River Trail and the Frost Lake Trail. The topography rises steeply toward Little Saddle Mtn in the northeast, while the crossing at Lovely Pass provides a key navigational point through the high terrain. The confluence of Willow Cr and the Buffalo Fork further illustrates the intricate watershed patterns that have shaped this protected wilderness area since the park's early history.
