About this map

Wapiti serves as a central point in this mountain landscape where the North Fork Shoshone River valley cuts through the high country. To the north, the distinctive formation known as the Chinese Wall overlooks a network of irrigation and infrastructure, including the N Fork Valley Ditch. The transition from the river valley to the steep slopes of the Shoshone National Forest is marked by a concentration of residential roads such as Starmigan View Dr and Copperleaf Dr, which sit at the doorstep of the wilderness.

South of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward Table Mtn, drained by a complex system of seasonal and perennial waters like Breteche Cr and Slack Cr. The map illustrates the persistence of early travel corridors through the inclusion of the Haman Mccall Trl and Stagecoach Trl, tracing paths that predated modern paving. Higher elevations are accessible via routes such as Jim Mountain Rd, providing access into the dense contours of the national forest.
