2021 Map of Wapiti

About this map

The settlement of Wapiti serves as the focal point of this modern survey, positioned where the North Fork Shoshone River valley widens between high mountain ridges. This area in Shoshone National Forest is defined by its network of historical and recreational pathways, including the Stagecoach Trl, Haman McCall Trl, and Big Cr Trl. The map illustrates the careful management of water in this semi-arid landscape via the N Fork Valley Ditch, while the local community is anchored by the Wapiti Valley Church and a nearby Cem. Dramatic geological formations such as the Chinese Wall and Table Mtn dominate the vertical relief, with numerous seasonal drainages like Whit Cr and Slack Cr feeding into the river system. These features indicate a landscape shaped by both early western transit routes and modern national forest conservation.
