1991 Map of Pat O' Hara Mountain

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the early 1990s, where the massive profile of Pat O'Hara Mountain dominates the terrain. This revised Forest Service study documents a transition from managed forest land to the protected reaches of the North Absaroka Wilderness in the west, marked by significant landmarks like Pat O'Hara Peak and Mooncrest. The map reveals a complex drainage network where Paint Creek, Blaine Creek, and the Dry Fork carve deep through the uplands. The presence of the Joseph Scenic Highway and various 4WD tracks suggests the balance between recreational access and the rugged isolation of features like the Natural Corral and the sprawling O'Hara Basin. Geologically-minded researchers will note the steep descent into Oxyoke Canyon and the distinct boundaries of the Clarks Fork Wapiti District.
