About this map

The Lamar River meanders through this high-country landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of tributaries including Timothy Creek, Buffalo Fork, and Mist Creek. This 1989 provisional survey captures a remote section of Yellowstone National Park and the adjacent North Abasroka Wilderness, defined by high elevations like Hague Mountain and the broad Mirror Plateau.

Evidence of park management and early backcountry travel is visible via the Cold Creek Patrol Cabin and a system of designated Pack Trails. The presence of several Thermal Areas and foot bridges along the river emphasizes the geological activity and the infrastructure required for navigating this roadless terrain. Features like Lovely Pass and Little Saddle Mountain provide critical landmarks for those tracing historical routes through the Shoshone National Forest borderlands.
