1991 Map of Younts Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in the early 1990s, marking the hydrological crest between the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds. This terrain is defined by the intersection of three major protected areas: Teton Wilderness, Shoshone National Forest, and Washakie Wilderness. The topography is dominated by massive landforms such as Younts Peak and Wall Mountain, which tower over the headwaters of vital regional waterways. The drainage pattern revealed here is significant for Western water history; the map shows the very beginnings of the South Fork Yellowstone River and the South Fork Shoshone River, emerging from glacial-cut valleys and high-country meadows. Movement through this high-elevation wilderness is constrained by geographic bottlenecks like Marston Pass, which serves as a rare transit point for those navigating between the Buffalo Plateau and the eastern river basins.
