About this map

The high-altitude drainage of the Lamar River and Hoodoo Creek dominates this wilderness terrain, where the northern edge of the North Absaroka Wilderness meets Yellowstone National Park. This 1991 revision, based on 1985 aerial photography, documents the rugged transition between the Hoodoo Basin and the volcanic spires of Hoodoo Peak. The map highlights a history of mineral exploration concentrated in the Hughes Basin area, where several distinct mining claims are located.

Industrial history is preserved through the locations of the Novelty Mine, Evening Star Mine, and Prospect Painter Mine clustered near the southern quadrangle boundary. These remote operations, situated thousands of feet above the valley floor, are accessible via the Clarks Fork Wapiti Rd. The landscape is further defined by peaks such as Lamar Mountain and Stinkingwater Peak, providing a clear record of the geological and administrative boundaries that define this part of Park County.
