2015 Map of Plenty Coups Peak

About this map

Plenty Coups Peak and Atkins Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape in the eastern reaches of Yellowstone National Park. The map documents a critical boundary where the park meets the Shoshone National Forest, a line followed by the crest of the Absaroka Range. This 2015 survey illustrates how the high-country drainage network feeds into Middle Cr, which is paralleled by the E Entrance Rd as it winds toward the park's eastern gateway. The absence of development, save for this singular roadway, highlights the managed wilderness of northwestern Wyoming. Prominent landmarks like Mt Langford and Reservation Peak stand as geographic sentinels above the headwaters of Beaverdam Cr and Crouch Cr, defining a region shaped by glacial activity and volcanic geology.
