About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape where Yellowstone National Park meets the Shoshone National Forest. This section of the Absaroka Range is defined by sharp peaks and steep drainage basins, including Avalanche Peak, Hoyt Peak, and Mt Stevenson. The primary corridor for travel is the E Entrance Rd, which climbs through Sylvan Pass near the waters of Sylvan Lake and Eleanor Lake.

South of these peaks, the terrain drops toward the Brimstone Basin and the headwaters of several drainages, including Columbine Cr and Clear Cr. The intersection of Park Co and Teton Co appears in the southwestern corner, marking a remote boundary line near the E Shore Yellowstone Lk Trail. This document preserves the modern alignment of park infrastructure against the permanent landmarks of the Signal Hills and Mt Doane.
