About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the North Absaroka Wilderness define this high-altitude landscape in the Absaroka Range, where mining activity and wilderness preservation intersect. Several high-elevation mining sites are documented in the southern reaches of the map, including the Novelty Mine, Evening Star Mine, and Prospect Mine, all situated near the drainages of Silvertip Creek and Galena Creek.

The terrain is dominated by prominent summits such as Hoodoo Peak and the eponymous Stinkingwater Peak, with the high Hoodoo Basin providing a drainage headwater for the Lamar River. This 1991 revision provides a detailed view of the administrative boundaries between the Shoshone National Forest and the park, as well as the remote trail networks and water features like Copper Lakes and Sunlight Creek that characterize the backcountry geography of Park County.
