2017 Map of Wahb Springs

About this map

Yellowstone National Park terrain defines this portion of Park County, where the high ridges of the Absaroka Range meet a network of deep-cut drainage basins. The landscape is marked by the rugged verticality of Mt Norris and the distinctive geological features of The Needle and Eye of the Needle. The hydrological pattern is anchored by the Lamar River, which receives various tributaries including Miller Cr, Calfee Cr, and Cache Cr. The presence of Death Gulch and Wahb Springs suggests the active geothermal and volcanic history common to this region of the park. Human passage through this wilderness is primarily recorded by established backcountry routes such as the Lamar River Trail, Cache Creek Trail, and Miller Creek Trail, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys and provide access to the remote northeast corner of the park.
