About this map

Lander Cutoff (Immigrant Trail) serves as the primary historical artery through this remote section of the Caribou National Forest. Tracing a route across the high terrain, the trail follows the drainage of Lanes Creek before descending toward the south. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Tincup Creek and Stump Creek carve through the mountains, supported by numerous smaller tributaries like Houtz Creek and Crooked Creek.

Elevated landmarks like Stump Peak and the ominously named Suicide Pass overlook a network of primitive transportation routes, including the North Fork Trail and several unpaved jeep tracks. The presence of the Pine Bar Campground along the northern reaches of Tincup Creek indicates the area's mid-century role as a destination for outdoor recreation, while the numerous cattle-related labels like Corral Creek suggest a long-standing history of seasonal grazing in the high meadows.
