About this map

The Ramshorn dominates the western skyline of this mid-century survey, a distinctive geological formation that gives rise to Ramshorn Peak and the high Ramshorn Basin. This portion of the Shoshone National Forest reflects a landscape managed for multiple uses, from the historic Fisher Tie Camp near Rainbow Lake to active livestock operations at T Cross Ranch and Utzinger Ranch. The mapping of these rangelands and timber areas was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin.

Water distribution is defined by the drainage of Horse Creek and Little Horse Creek, which carve through the high country past landmarks like Amoretti Park and Deacon Meadows. Topography throughout the sheet is detailed by extensive trail systems, including the Fivemile Trail and various unnamed pack trails, providing a clear view of the mountain passes such as White Pass and the high peaks of EA Mountain and Battrum Mtn.
