About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northwestern Wyoming, where the transition from mountain peaks to canyon floors is defined by steep elevation changes. Tolman Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in the central-western portion of the quadrangle, while the drainage systems of North Bennett Creek and Littlerock Creek carve significant paths through the terrain. The presence of irrigation infrastructure like the Lake Ditch along the eastern edge suggests the intersection of the wilderness with downstream agricultural needs.

Evidence of human activity is scattered throughout this remote area, marked by several drill holes, a Gas Well, and the historic Hole in Wall Cave. The map also identifies a solitary Grave near the forest boundary, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists or local historians tracing early inhabitants of Park County. Extensive 4wd tracks provide the primary means of navigating the backcountry, linking isolated Ranch sites with the surrounding wilderness.
