About this map

Ptarmigan Mountain and Citadel Mountain dominate this landscape in Park County, Wyoming, where high-altitude drainages define the area's geography. The survey depicts a complex network of alpine creeks, including Icy Cr and Clocktower Cr in the north, which feed into larger systems like Hardpan Cr and Bobcat Cr. A notable transition occurs at the southern edge of the quadrangle, where the terrain descends toward the S Fork Shoshone River valley.

The hydrology of the region is centered around Hardpan Lake and the various tributaries that carve through the Ishawooa Hills. The lack of road infrastructure and human settlements on this sheet emphasizes its character as a remote wilderness area. Detail is concentrated on the specific naming of water sources such as Houlihan Cr, Yellow Cr, and Ishawooa Cr, which are essential markers for navigating this corner of the Wyoming backcountry.
