1991 Map of Sunlight Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River carves through the high terrain of northwest Wyoming, anchoring a landscape dominated by the Shoshone National Forest and the Absaroka Wilderness. Revised by the Forest Service in the early 1990s, this survey highlights the convergence of drainage systems including Grinnell Creek, Sweetwater Creek, and Mormon Creek. High-elevation landmarks like Sunlight Peak and Whirlwind Peak define the horizon, while the Newton Prospect in the Silvertip Basin points to the area's history of mineral exploration. The presence of the Thirteenth Standard Parallel North and the Wapiti Clarks Fork Ranger District Boundary underscores the administrative and surveying framework used to manage these remote mountain stretches. Significant meadows, such as Grinnell Meadows, provide rare open reaches within the heavily forested and ridged topography of the Absaroka Range.
