2015 Map of Mount Chittenden

About this map

Mt Chittenden and the high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate this 2015 survey of the Wyoming backcountry. The map documents a critical transition point between Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest, illustrating the high-altitude hydrology of the region. A network of primitive paths, including the Pelican Cone Cabin Trail, Mist Creek Trail, and the Raven Creek Cutoff Trail, provides the only access through this roadless terrain, connecting isolated landmarks like the Pelican Springs Cabin. Notable drainage systems such as Pelican Creek and Bear Cr carve through the landscape, defined by steep contour intervals and significant alpine passes like Mist Creek Pass and Jones Pass. The presence of Stonecup Lake high in the Absarokas provides a rare still-water feature among the numerous mountain streams.
