2012 Map of Trail Lake

About this map

Yellowstone Lake dominates the western edge of this 2012 survey, where the water meets the shoreline at Terrace Point. This wilderness landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Trail Cr and Beaverdam Cr wind through the terrain to feed the great lake. Human presence is sparse and strictly functional, represented by the Trail Creek Patrol Cabin and the Cabin Creek Patrol Cabin, which serve as remote outposts in the backcountry. Navigation through these high-elevation reaches relies on prominent landmarks such as Langford Cairn and Monument Cairn. To the south, the namesake Trail Lake sits nestled near the confluence of several streams, including Trappers Cr, illustrating the isolated and water-rich character of this part of Wyoming's protected lands.
