About this map

Pahaska Tepee serves as a central landmark at the gateway to Yellowstone National Park in this 1991 revision. The landscape is defined by the high-altitude drainage of the North Fork Shoshone River, where historical interest centers on the Camp Monaco (Site) near the Shoshone River in the northeastern corner. This area, managed by the Shoshone National Forest, reflects a preserved wilderness state, with the North Absaroka Wilderness boundary cutting across the central terrain.

Water features dominate the topography, including Spring Cascade Falls and numerous drainages like Jones Creek and Mormon Creek that feed into the main river system. The presence of Sam Berry Meadow along the river fork provides evidence of early mountain navigation and named landmarks, while the Footbridge across the river highlights the established trail network for those exploring the rugged elevation near Crow Peak.
