About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape within the Absaroka Range of Fremont County. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Wiggins Fork, which runs south through a deep valley flanked by prominent high points such as Norton Point, Coffman Butte, and Crescent Top. This area represents a remote wilderness environment where water is the primary architect of the land, visible in the alpine Snow Lake and Elk Lake.

Logistical access is sparse, concentrated primarily along Horse Creek Rd and a few established trails that navigate the steep elevation changes. To the south, Lincoln Point overlooks the lower reaches of Cartridge Cr, while the eastern portion of the sheet reveals the Caldwell Basin nestled between Caldwell Cr and Bug Cr. The survey details the complex network of mountain tributaries, including Frontier Cr and Snow Lake Cr, which feed into the regional watershed.
