1989 Map of Pollux Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the North Absaroka Wilderness converge in this high-altitude landscape documented during the late 1980s. The region is defined by a dense concentration of summits, including the twin heights of Pollux Peak and Castor Peak, which tower over the drainage of the Lamar River. This environment required specialized infrastructure for management and monitoring, evidenced by the Upper Lamar River Patrol Station and the Upper Miller Creek Patrol Station located near the park boundaries. Navigation through the steep drainages of Red Creek and the Little Lamar River relied on a network of a Pack Trail, illustrating how the backcountry was accessed and patrolled before modern development. The map also records landmarks such as Saddle Mountain and Parker Peak, which overlook the Hoodoo Basin on the eastern edge of the Shoshone National Forest.
