1991 Map of Thorofare Buttes

About this map

Thorofare Buttes dominate the high-elevation terrain of Park County in this 1991 revision of a 1969 survey. The map details a complex intersection of administrative and wilderness boundaries, where the Teton National Forest meets the Shoshone National Forest. This protected landscape is defined by its drainage systems and mountain transitions, featuring the convergence of the Washakie Wilderness and the Petrified Wilderness. Key routes through the high country are marked by Ishawooa Pass and Rampart Pass, which navigate the steep slopes of Wapiti Ridge. Extensive hydrologic detail includes the headwaters of Silvertip Creek, Baron Creek, and North Fork Creek, providing a technical look at the watershed management under the Wapiti Buffalo Ranger District.
