2021 Map of Snow Lake

About this map

The high alpine terrain of the Absaroka Range dominates this portion of the Shoshone National Forest, where a network of trails provides the only human imprint on a landscape of deep canyons and prominent peaks. The drainage of Wiggins Fork serves as a central artery for the region, joined by tributaries such as Snow Lake Cr and Bug Creek. This 2021 survey illustrates the topographical complexity between Coffman Butte in the north and Lincoln Point further south, mapping the precise routes of the Wiggins Fork Trl and Frontier Creek Trl. High-altitude water bodies like Snow Lake and Elk Lake are situated near dramatic overlooks like Norton Point and Crescent Top, highlighting a wilderness area shaped by glacial action and erosion within the Caldwell Basin.
