About this map

Younts Peak and the surrounding high-altitude drainage basins of the Absaroka Range define this high country landscape along the continental divide in northwestern Wyoming. As of 2015, this area remains a critical watershed where the headwaters of major river systems diverge. The S Fork Yellowstone River flows westward from the peak, while the S Fork Shoshone River and Marston Cr drain the eastern slopes.

Remote passage through this wilderness is facilitated by established routes such as the Marston Pass Trail and the Yellowstone Trails, crossing through Marston Pass between the Teton National Forest and Shoshone National Forest. This survey provides fine-grained detail of the alpine topography, from the steep gradients of Wall Mtn and Thorofare Mtn to the open flats of Bliss Creek Meadows along the lower reaches of Bliss Cr.
