2015 Map of Thorofare Buttes

About this map

Ishawooa Cone and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Absaroka Range dominate this study of the Wyoming wilderness. The map documents the boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest, illustrating a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of drainages. Key watercourses such as Ishawooa Cr and Open Creek carve through the mountain passes. The presence of Petrified Ridge and Wapiti Ridge suggests a complex geological character, while named crossings like Ishawooa Pass and Rampart Pass indicate established routes through the peaks. This 2015 survey provides a modern topographical record of the Thorofare Buttes region, where the remote geography remains largely untouched by development, preserved within the national forest system.
