1943 Map of Mt. Wallace

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Absaroka National Forest dominates this 1943 edition, showing the high-altitude landscape of the Absaroka Range during the mid-century. This map captures a backcountry interior defined by administrative outposts like the Hellroaring Ranger Station and Buffalo Fork Ranger Station, alongside early recreational and utility structures such as Bull Moose Cabin. The terrain is marked by significant drainages including Hellroaring Creek and Wallace Creek, which flow through dramatic basins like Silver Basin and Clover Basin. A portion of Yellowstone National Park is visible along the southern boundary, where the Poacher Trail winds past Hellroaring Mtn. The survey, conducted between 1937 and 1940, preserves the nomenclature of the era, including peaks such as Mt Wallace and the distinctive Niggerhead Butte, reflecting the remote wilderness character of Park County before modern infrastructure changes.
