About this map

The Lamar River winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, serving as a primary drainage for a network of tributaries including Calfee Creek and Miller Creek. This 1980s topographic study reveals a wilderness interior defined by its steep elevations and remote backcountry infrastructure. Notable for those interested in park history is the Calfee Creek Patrol Cabin, a remote outpost situated near the confluence of Flint Creek and the Lamar.

Thermal and geological activity is evident at Wahb Springs (Sulphur) near Death Gulch, while prominent landmarks like Mount Norris and the distinctive formations of The Needle and Eye of the Needle provide essential navigational points for high-altitude surveying. The presence of a Footbridge over Miller Creek and scattered Campsite locations indicates the established, though sparse, trail network used by rangers and early visitors within Yellowstone National Park.
