2015 Map of Stinkingwater Peak

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest converge in this high-elevation region of the Absaroka Range. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, peaking at Stinkingwater Peak and Hoodoo Peak. This terrain dictates the drainage patterns of the Lamar River and the N Fork Shoshone River, which are fed by numerous high-altitude basins like Hoodoo Basin and Silvertip Basin. The inclusion of the Hoodoo Basin Trail highlights the importance of historic transit routes through these mountain passes, providing access to landmarks such as Lamar Mtn and Dike Mtn. The detailed hydrography of creeks like Sunlight Cr and Copper Cr illustrates the complex watershed that defines the eastern edge of the park.
