About this map

Pelican Cone rises as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Park County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a complex network of alpine drainage systems, including the headwaters of Pelican Cr and Raven Cr. Unusual geothermal or geological features are noted in the southern portion of the quadrangle, specifically the creatively named The Mudkettles and The Mushpots.

Evidence of wilderness management is found at the Fern Lake Patrol Cabin, a lone architectural point in a map otherwise dominated by natural features like the Mirror Plateau and Mirror Lake. The hydrology of the area is intricate, with numerous small tributaries such as Wrong Cr, Timothy Cr, and Clover Cr feeding into larger forks. This 2012 survey illustrates the protected character of this backcountry, where Pohuntpa Spring and other water sources remain the primary named landmarks.
