2017 Map of Mount Burwell

About this map

Mt Burwell and the high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Shoshone National Forest. This terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain trails and steep drainages, where the boundary between Park and Fremont counties follows the ridgelines. The map documents a wilderness accessible only by foot or pack animal, centered on the strategic crossing at Burwell Pass. Water systems flow in multiple directions from these heights, including the headwaters of the Greybull River and the Wiggins Fork. Hikers and researchers can trace established routes such as the Venus Basin Trail and the Cow Creek Trail, which navigate through narrow valleys and around landmarks like Pyramid Peak. The drainage patterns of S Fork Burwell Cr and Steer Cr illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of the Wyoming backcountry.
