2017 Map of Ramshorn Peak

About this map

Ramshorn Peak and the high ridges of the Absaroka Range dominate this portion of the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. This landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, where steep drainage systems like Wagon Gulch and Fivemile Cr drop away from the prominent summits of Battrum Mtn and E A Mtn. The survey details an intricate network of backcountry access points, including the Ramshorn Trail and the Horse Creek Cutoff Trail, which connect high-altitude water bodies such as Ramshorn Lakes and Virgin Lake. The presence of Amoretti Park and Deacon Meadows suggest pockets of more level terrain amidst the peaks, while the naming of Burnt Timber Lake points toward the environmental history of the forest's timber resources and fire cycles.
