2021 Map of Stinkingwater Peak

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Shoshone National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape of the Absaroka Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and deep basins, including the namesake Stinkingwater Peak at the southeastern edge and Hoodoo Peak in the northwest. This modern survey illustrates the headwaters of several drainages, such as the Lamar River and the N Fork Shoshone River, which carve through the volcanic geology of the region. The map also records the exact path of primitive backcountry routes like the Hoodoo Basin Trl and the Pahaska/Sunlight Trl. These trails provide the only human-made access through significant landmarks like Hoodoo Basin and Hughes Basin, showcasing a wilderness area preserved from road development and modern encroachment.
