2015 Map of Pinnacle Mountain

About this map

Absaroka Range peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest. The topography is defined by significant vertical relief, where summits like Pinnacle Mtn and Chaos Mtn tower over drainages such as Avalanche Cr and Eurie Cr. The map captures a wilderness environment devoid of permanent settlements or modern road infrastructure, relying instead on routes like the Mountain Creek Trail for navigation. Notable hydrologic features and alpine basins, including Flora Lake and Glacier Basin, illustrate the glaciated character of the terrain. The transition from high summits to more level ground is found at Eagle Creek Meadows and Fishhawk Meadows, providing rare flat openings within the dense forest and rock of the range. This survey provides a precise record of these undeveloped corridors and the various named creeks, including Howell Fork and Fishhawk Cr, that feed the region's larger watersheds.
