1956 Map of Sunlight Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this mid-century survey, defining a wilderness landscape where the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest meet. This terrain was a critical crossroads for early high-country management and outdoor history, evidenced by the Upper Miller Creek Patrol Sta and the Upper Lamar River Patrol Sta. Farther east, the Sunlight Mining Region highlights a pocket of industrial interest amidst the peaks, while remote outposts like the Hardee Cabins and Painter Cabin mark the presence of early settlers and guides. A notable historical point is the Camp Monaco Historical Marker near the North Fork Shoshone River, commemorating the 1913 hunting trip of Prince Albert I of Monaco and Buffalo Bill Cody. The map also features the iconic Pahaska Tepee lodge near the southern edge of the sheet.
