2021 Map of Sheridan Pass

About this map

Sheridan Pass serves as a critical geographic marker along the Continental Divide, where the waters of the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest split toward the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal drainage and pack trails, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail which winds across Buckskin Ridge. In the southeastern portion of the map, Washakie Park represents a significant high-mountain meadow system, while the Saint John Overlook provides a vantage point over the Purdy Basin. The absence of roads and the reliance on named paths like the Little Devil's Basin Trail and Sheridan Creek Trail highlight the wilderness character of the Wyoming terrain as documented in this 2021 survey.
