2017 Map of Shoshone Canyon

About this map

Rattlesnake Mtn dominates this Wyoming landscape, rising sharply above the western edge of the Shoshone Canyon. The topography is defined by the thermal activity and water management of the region, featuring Shoshone Hot Springs and Needle-Hot Springs near the eastern canyon entrance. To the south, the waters of the Buffalo Bill Reservoir meet the Shoshone River, while the Heart Mountain Canal suggests the engineered irrigation essential to the surrounding valley. Local character is revealed through a network of trails and roads such as the Outlaw Trail, Twisted Sister, and Jail Break, which weave through the high-elevation terrain near Red Butte and Monument Hill. This map captures a intersection of natural geological wonders and modern recreational and agricultural infrastructure.
