2017 Map of Pollux Peak

About this map

Pollux Peak and Castor Peak stand as prominent twin summits within the Absaroka Range, marking a high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest meet. This survey documents a wilderness defined by its drainage systems, specifically the Lamar River and the Little Lamar River, which carve through the high mountain terrain. The map details a network of primitive routes essential for back-country navigation, including the Hoodoo Basin Trail and the E Fork / Red Cr Trail. Geographic landmarks such as Notch Mtn, Saddle Mtn, and Hague Mtn provide a clear view of the complex topography near Bootjack Gap as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
