About this map

The Shoshone National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, where the South Fork Shoshone River carves a deep valley between high alpine plateaus. This 2017 survey details the complex drainage network feeding the river, including Hardpan Cr, Ishawooa Cr, and Twin Cr. Access to these upper reaches is marked by the Southfork Rd, which follows the river course and serves as a jump-off point for backcountry routes like the Houlihan Loop Trail and the Bobcat Cr Trail.

The southeast corner is anchored by the massive bulk of Carter Mtn, showing the transition from river bottom to high-altitude peaks. The map provides a clear picture of the modern road network, such as Rd 6EH, contrasted against the deep wilderness. This area, known for its significant elevation changes, includes numerous small tributaries like Mower Cr and Corral Cr that define the local topography within the historic forest boundary.
