About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of the Shoshone National Forest, where the high-altitude landscape transitions between Park, Hot Springs, and Fremont counties. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Standard Peak, Dome Mtn, and the namesake Twin Peaks, which serve as anchors for a complex drainage system. Waterways like the Middle Fork Wood River and South Fork Wood River carve through the high country, creating natural corridors for travel.

A network of remote pathways, including the Wind River Divide Trail and Rock Creek / Twin Peaks Trail, illustrates how this wilderness was navigated in the early 21st century. Significant landmarks such as Guard Station Park and Surveyor Park indicate historical land management and survey points within the forest. The presence of Smuggler Gulch suggests a colorful local history, while the convergence of multiple county lines at the drainage divides highlights the region's role as a geographic tri-point.
