About this map

Shoshone Pass sits at the high-elevation divide between the Park and Fremont county lines, serving as a critical topographical waypoint within the Shoshone National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the S Fork Shoshone River and S Buffalo Fork drain separate basins. Notable landmarks include the prominent Crescent Mtn and the unique formation of The Ramshorn to the southeast.

Glacial influence is visible through features like the DuNoir Glacier near Coffin Butte, while high-country water bodies such as Watkins Lakes, Boday Lake, and Frozen Lake are scattered throughout the alpine terrain. The map also captures the remote character of Bliss Creek Meadows and the steep descent of Waterfalls Canyon, illustrating a wilderness area largely untouched by permanent settlement or industrial development.
