2017 Map of Sheridan Pass

About this map

Sheridan Pass serves as a critical geographic marker where the boundaries of the Teton National Forest and Shoshone National Forest meet. This high-altitude landscape is bisected by the Continental Divide, followed closely by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Buckskin Ridge and Burnt Ridge, which separate various drainage basins. A complex network of waterways, including the South Fork of Fish Creek and Warm Spring Creek, flows through deep depressions such as Devil's Basin. The area's legacy of access is preserved in the Purdy Basin Trail and the remote Washakie Park at the southeastern edge. Saint John Overlook provides a vantage point over this transition between the Teton and Fremont county lines, capturing a wilderness maintained for resource management and recreation.
