2021 Map of Yellow Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this high-altitude landscape in northwest Wyoming, where the headwaters of the N Fork Yellowstone River begin their descent. This 2021 survey documents the convergence of the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest, a region defined by its lack of roads and reliance on historical trail networks. Notable peaks like Yellow Mountain rise above complex drainage systems including Thorofare Creek and Valley Fork. The map traces long-established routes such as the Thorofare River Trail and Woody Creek Trail, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys. These trails provide the primary means of navigating the backcountry near Esmond Forks and Bruin Creek, illustrating how the wilderness has remained largely unchanged since the earliest mountain men explored these forks.
