2021 Map of Soapy Dale Peak

About this map

Soapy Dale Peak and Leon Baird Peak dominate the topography of this high country where Park and Hot Springs counties meet. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the westward flow of Gooseberry Cr and the deeply incised Red Canyon. Significant portions of the southwestern area are managed as part of the Shoshone National Forest, indicating a transition from open range to protected mountain terrain. Historic land use is suggested by the presence of Sawmill Rd near Red Cliff, likely reflecting the region's early timber or ranching access routes. Navigational landmarks like Wall Rock and the small Mossy Pond provide specific reference points within the complex ridges and draws that define this section of the Absaroka foothills.
