1991 Map of Plenty Coups Peak

About this map

Plenty Coups Peak and the high ridges of the Absaroka Range dominate this 1991 survey of the eastern approach to one of America's most famous natural landscapes. This area serves as a critical junction of federal lands, where the Yellowstone National Park boundary meets the Shoshone National Forest, North Absaroka Wilderness, and Washakie Wilderness. The East Entrance Road snakes through the canyon of Middle Creek toward the East Entrance Ranger Station, a vital gateway for travelers. This map captures the intricate drainage systems and high-altitude topography, including Mount Langford and Reservation Peak, before the implementation of more modern digital mapping. It offers a clear view of the complex management boundaries and the network of creeks like Cabin Creek and Crouch Creek that define the watershed of the Park County high country.
