About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates the landscape of this high-elevation Park County survey, which reveals the dramatic topography of the Absaroka Range. The map highlights massive geological formations such as the high-plateau of Sheep Mesa and the jagged profiles of Fortress Mtn and Battlement Mtn. To the northeast, the Blackwater Natural Bridge stands as a notable geological landmark near Coxcomb Mtn.

Drainage systems carve deep into the terrain, with Fishhawk Cr and Blackwater Cr defining the northern watersheds while Open Creek marks the boundary of the Teton National Forest in the southwest corner. Transportation in this wilderness is limited to primitive routes including the Fishhawk Cr Trail and Cabin Cr Trail, which navigate through Glacier Basin and along high ridgelines like Wapiti Ridge.
