1993 Map of Shell Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Shell Creek carves a dramatic path through this high-elevation section of the Bighorn National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the steep relief of Shell Canyon and the massive limestone formation of Copmans Tomb. This 1993 revision, based on surveys from the 1950s and 1980s, documents the infrastructure of the Bighorn National Forest at the close of the twentieth century. The map highlights key recreational and administrative points, including the Shell Falls Interpretive Site near Shell Falls and the Shell Ranger Station to the east. Higher elevations are marked by the Antelope Butte Ski Area and peaks like Snowshoe Mountain. Tracing the Scenic Byway through the canyon reveals the intricate geography of the Bench and the North Fork and South Fork drainage systems that feed into the main canyon.
