1956 Map of Shoshone Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high alpine terrain of the Absaroka Range, marking a sharp boundary between the Teton National Forest and Shoshone National Forest. This 1956 field-checked survey reveals a landscape defined by seasonal movement and high-elevation hydrology, centered on the strategic crossing at Shoshone Pass. In the mid-1950s, this area remained largely inaccessible to vehicles, relying instead on an extensive network of pack trails such as the South Fork Shoshone Trail and the Crescent Trail. Notable landmarks like the Stock Cabin near the pass and the towering profile of The Ramshorn served as essential navigational markers for backcountry travel. The presence of the Du Noir Glacier and isolated water bodies like Watkins Lakes underscores the perennial snow and ice that shape the headwaters of the South Fork Shoshone River.
