2015 Map of Alpine Lake

About this map

Alpine Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, where the hydrology is defined by the headwaters of the Bull Lake Creek system. The map documents a complex network of alpine drainages, including N Fork Bull Lake Cr, S Fork Bull Lake Cr, and Middle Fork Bull Lake Cr, which carve through the high country. In the southwestern corner, the Continental Divide traces along the Wind River Range, marking the fundamental hydrologic boundary of the American West. The terrain is characterized by prominent high-altitude landmarks such as Windy Peak and Milky Ridge, alongside isolated water bodies like Deadman Lake and the Milky Lakes. This map provides a detailed view of the high-country topography at the intersection of Fremont and Sublette counties before any significant modern development altered these remote drainages.
