About this map

Yellowstone National Park defines the vast majority of this landscape, where the northern wilderness meets the Montana-Wyoming border. The high-altitude terrain is anchored by Mt Hornaday and Bison Peak, with the Absaroka Range stretching across the southern reaches of the map. Lower elevations feature the broad Lamar Valley, a critical corridor for the Lamar River and its many tributaries, including Slough Creek and Hornaday Cr.

Wilderness infrastructure is minimal, centered on back-country points like Campsite 2S1 and Campsite 2S3. The map traces traditional routes through the high country, such as the Slough Creek Trail and the Trout Lake Trail, providing a clear record of the access points to Trout Lake, Buck Lake, and Shrimp Lake near the NE Entrance Rd. This edition documents the drainage patterns from Buffalo Plateau to the Soda Butte Canyon, illustrating the complex hydrology of this corner of the park.
