1988 Map of North Fork Pickett Creek

About this map

Carter Mountain dominates this portion of Park County, where the high-elevation landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Shoshone National Forest. This 1988 provisional survey, based on early 1980s data, illustrates the headwaters of numerous creeks including Meeteetse Creek, Rose Creek, and North Fork Pickett Creek. The terrain is largely managed as primitive land, evidenced by the significant portion of the Washakie Wilderness and its marked Wilderness Boundary in the southern reaches. The presence of Thomas Reservoir amidst the network of forks and creeks, such as Middle Fk Rock Cr and East Fork Rock Creek, highlights the critical importance of water management and high-country runoff for the surrounding region. The map provides a precise record of the unimproved roads and trails that served as the primary access points for this remote section of the forest during the late twentieth century.
