About this map

Mount Burwell stands as the central anchor of this high-elevation terrain within the Shoshone National Forest during the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including the Greybull River and the Wiggins Fork, which cut through the protected expanses of the Washakie Wilderness. This survey demonstrates the intricate drainage patterns of the region, where numerous named branches like Venus Creek, Mabel Creek, and Last Creek descend from the ridges.

A notable boundary line for Park and Fremont Counties runs through the southern portion of the map, intersecting the Greybull River Rd. The lack of permanent structures emphasizes the remote, managed nature of this National Forest land, where travel is limited primarily to the Trail network and the singular roadway. Geographers and hikers can trace the high-country pass at Burwell Pass or the prominent spire of Pyramid Peak in the northeast.
