1991 Map of Pahaska Tepee

About this map

Pahaska Tepee serves as a focal point at the junction of Middle Creek and the North Fork Shoshone River, marking the eastern approach to Yellowstone National Park. This 1991 revision, based on field checks by the U.S. Forest Service, documents a landscape dominated by the high-elevation terrain of the Shoshone National Forest and the North Absaroka Wilderness. The map captures specific historical sites and landmarks such as the Camp Monaco (Site) near Mormon Creek, along with local water features like Jones Creek and Sam Berry Meadow. The presence of a Sewage Disposal Pond and a Footbridge near the main settlement indicates the infrastructure required to support visitors entering the wilderness. Surveyors also noted the Thirteenth Standard Parallel North, which cuts across the drainage of Grinnell Creek and the slopes of Crow Peak.
