2021 Map of Pollux Peak

About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of northwestern Wyoming, where the high-altitude wilderness of Yellowstone National Park meets the Shoshone National Forest. This remote landscape is defined by its dramatic peaks and the drainage basins of the Lamar River and Little Lamar River. The named summits of Pollux Peak and Castor Peak stand as prominent landmarks in the southern half of the sheet, while Saddle Mtn and Hague Mtn rise to the northwest. Significant backcountry access routes are documented here, including the Hoodoo Basin Trl and the Bootjack Gap Trl, which navigate the steep terrain between Miller Creek and the river valleys. The topography shows a primitive wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement, with a focus on natural features like Grant Peak and Notch Mtn that delineate the transition between managed forest and park lands.
