1969 Map of Mount Burwell

About this map

Absaroka Range peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the Shoshone National Forest and Absaroka Wilderness protect a network of headwaters and mountain passes. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, centered on the Mount Burwell summit and the nearby Burwell Pass. Waterways like the Greybull River and Wiggins Fork carve deep valleys through the mountains, serving as primary corridors for movement through this wilderness. Historical access is marked by the Greybull River Trail and Wiggins Fork Trail, which follow the natural contours of the drainage systems. The survey also captures the boundary between Park and Fremont Counties as it traverses these high ridges, providing a clear view of the topographical logic behind local political borders in the late 1960s.
