1991 Map of North Fork Pickett Creek

About this map

Carter Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, where the transition from managed forest lands to the Washakie Wilderness is marked by a sharp administrative boundary. The drainage patterns on this 1991 survey reflect a complex network of alpine headwaters, including the North Fork Pickett Creek and Meeteetse Creek, which carve through the steep eastern slopes of the range. The boundary between the Wapiti Ranger District and Greybull Ranger District follows the high ridgelines, illustrating how natural topographic features often dictate forest management borders. In the lower elevations to the east, the land is divided into numerous numbered tracts and lots, such as Tract 37 and Lot 42, suggesting historical land partitions adjacent to Aldrich Basin. Evidence of resource exploration appears near the head of Rawhide Creek, noted by a lone Drill Hole alongside primitive 4wd routes.
