About this map

Yellowstone Lake defines the western margin of this backcountry landscape, where the waters of the Yellowstone River flow through the heart of Yellowstone National Park. Rising to the east, the Absaroka Range shapes the drainage patterns for numerous waterways including Beaverdam Cr, Cabin Cr, and Trail Cr. The terrain is characterized by significant landmarks like Terrace Point and the high-elevation Langford Cairn, which overlook a network of remote corridors.

Evidence of historical and modern movement through this wilderness is preserved in the paths of the Trail Creek Trail and the Upper Ford Rail. These routes connect isolated points such as Trail Lake and various established locations like Campsite 5E1 and Campsite 6A3. This survey captures the topographical intersection of Teton and Park counties in an area defined by its hydrology and high-country landmarks.
