About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone North Absaroka Wilderness National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape. The terrain is dominated by prominent summits including Pilot Peak and Index Peak, which serve as dramatic landmarks along the eastern boundary. The intricate drainage network is defined by North Fork Crandall Creek and its various tributaries, while high-elevation water bodies like Guitar Lake sit tucked beneath Amphitheater Mountain.

A system of primitive routes and a designated Trail provide passage through these protected lands, crossing significant points such as Republic Pass. The presence of named features like Ram Pasture suggests historical land use for grazing even within these steep mountain reaches. This document illustrates the preservation of some of the most remote wilderness in the American West, where the lack of permanent settlements reflects a landscape managed for natural conservation and primitive recreation.
