2021 Map of Noon Point

About this map

Noon Point stands as a prominent landmark overlooking a network of drainages and early irrigation projects in Park and Hot Springs counties. This 2021 survey illustrates the continued management of the Shoshone National Forest, where a complex system of pack trails and forest roads facilitates access through the high country. Resource management is evident in the presence of the Nelson Ditch and the Only Chance Ditch to the north, while the southern reaches are defined by the headwaters of Gooseberry Cr and the Wood River. Several established routes like the Aspen Creek Trl and Chimney Creek Trl provide a window into the recreational and logistical infrastructure of the modern wilderness, connecting the various forks and creeks that carve through the landscape.
