2015 Map of Monument Peak

About this map

Muddy Monument Peak rises as a central landmark within this high-altitude landscape where the Absaroka Range meets the Owl Creek Mountains. The boundary between Hot Springs and Fremont counties cuts through a series of steep drainages including Cabin Creek and Bear Creek. The rugged character of the area is defined by sharp geological features like the Washakie Needles and Devils Hole, while broad high-ground features such as Trail Ridge and Bald Mountain offer vantage points over the Crow Creek Basin. Much of the northern terrain falls within the Shoshone National Forest, preserving a wilderness state largely untouched by major development, with only the S Owl Creek Rd providing limited access to the eastern canyons. Water sources like Little Dry Muddy Spring provide critical points of interest for those studying the hydrology of these arid mountain gaps.
