1991 Map of Snow Lake

About this map

Double Cabin sits at a strategic junction in the drainage basin where Wiggins Fork meets multiple mountain tributaries. This 1991 field-checked map illustrates the remote drainage network of the Shoshone National Forest, dominated by the high-elevation peaks of Norton Point and Crescent Top. The landscape is defined by the Washakie Wilderness boundary, which separates the more accessible lower reaches from the high backcountry. Historically significant routes like the Frontier Creek Trail and Wiggins Fork Trail follow the valley floors, providing access to secluded water bodies such as Snow Lake and Elk Lake. The map details the transition from the relatively open Caldwell Basin to the steep, narrow canyons carved by Cartridge Creek and Fire Creek, showing the intricate interplay of 4WD tracks and traditional pack trails.
