1956 Map of Pilot Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Pilot Peak and Index Peak dominate the skyline of the Absaroka Range, marking a dramatic border region within the Shoshone National Forest. This mid-century survey captures the high-altitude wilderness along the northeastern edge of Yellowstone National Park, where the Beartooth Highway provides the primary passage through the mountain corridor. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, such as Crandall Creek and the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River, which descend from high ridges like Hurricane Mesa and Woody Ridge. Notable for its sparse human habitation, the map identifies isolated outposts such as the B Four Ranch and R D S Ranch, alongside backcountry landmarks like Republic Pass and the Fire Cache near North Fork Crandall Creek. These details illustrate the intersection of early recreational access and established ranching interests in this remote corner of Wyoming.
