About this map

The North Fork Shoshone River valley defines the character of this Wyoming corridor, serving as a primary artery through the Shoshone National Forest during the early 1990s. The settlement of Wapiti acts as a central hub for ranching and recreation, supported by local landmarks like the Bradford Ranch, Dahlman Ranch, and the River Rest Resort. The presence of the Valley Ditch and a Siphon near the river bank illustrates the managed water systems necessary for agriculture in this high-elevation terrain.

Further south, the landscape transitions into the protected Washakie Wilderness, where the terrain rises sharply toward Frost Peak and Table Mountain. Remote outposts such as the Diamond Bar Cow Camp highlight the area's continued use for seasonal grazing and wilderness management. Transport is concentrated along the river, where the Flying L Skytel Airport and U.S. 14 16 20 provide essential connections through the mountain passes.
