1956 Map of Sunlight Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Sunlight Mining Region sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Absaroka Range defines the boundary between Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior managed through isolated outposts like the Upper Miller Creek Patrol Sta and Upper Lamar River Patrol Sta, alongside early habitations such as Hardee Cabins. This mid-century survey captures the region just as the North Absaroka Wilderness was designated, preserving a network of historic routes and campsites. One notable site is Camp Monaco (Historical Marker) on the North Fork Shoshone River, marking the location of a 1913 hunting trip involving Prince Albert I of Monaco and Buffalo Bill Cody. The map also traces the extensive Pack Trail system that linked remote peaks like Sunlight Peak and Hoodoo Peak with valley floors like Hoodoo Basin.
