2015 Map of Sheridan Pass

About this map

Sheridan Pass serves as a critical geographic junction on this high-altitude landscape where the Teton National Forest meets the Shoshone National Forest. The topography is defined by the Continental Divide, which snakes through the eastern half of the map, separating drainage systems like Warm Spring Creek and Indian Creek from the western slopes. Evidence of backcountry navigation is visible via the Purdy Basin Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which provide access to notable landmarks such as Saint John Overlook Peak and Buckskin Point. The map documents a rugged wilderness interior characterized by significant basins and ridges, including Devil's Basin and Burnt Ridge. Waterways such as the S Fork Fish Creek and Little Devils Basin Creek detail the intricate hydrology of this mountain environment in the mid-2010s.
