About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of the Wyoming wilderness, where the high-altitude terrain is divided between Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest. Centered on the prominent peak of Yellow Mtn, the landscape is defined by a dense network of water drainage including Valley Fork, Esmond Fork, and the headwaters of the N Fork Yellowstone River.

Human presence is limited to established backcountry routes such as the Thorofare River Trail and the Butte Creek Trail, which provide access through the complex network of creeks like Thorofare Cr and Woody Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates a protected landscape largely unchanged by modern development, showing the intricate contouring of the high ridgelines and the deep valleys that feed the primary river systems of the region.
