About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Bighorn Basin take shape. High peaks of the Absaroka Range define the local topography, featuring prominent summits such as Standard Peak, Dome Mtn, and the namesake Twin Peaks. This wilderness is carved by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the Middle Fork Wood River and S Fork Wood River, which descend through narrow canyons like Smuggler Gulch.

The intersection of Park, Hot Springs, and Fremont counties occurs in this remote interior, marking a point where administrative boundaries follow the high ridgelines. Evidence of forest management and early surveying is visible through labels like Guard Station Park and Surveyor Park. The map also captures the upper reaches of the S Fork Owl Cr and S Fork N Fork Owl Cr, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the eastern Absaroka foothills before these waters reach the lower valleys.
