1965 Map of Bailey Lake

About this map

Grayback Ridge dominates this mid-century survey of the high mountain divide between the Bridger National Forest and Teton National Forest. This remote landscape, field-checked in the mid-1960s, is defined by its drainages and early trails rather than roads, showing a wilderness area as it functioned before modern development. Notable water features include the isolated Bailey Lake and Waterdog Lake, while the presence of Rimrock Ranch and the small settlement at Adams suggests the thin margin of human habitation in this steep terrain. An extensive Pack Trail system provides the primary means of navigation through the valleys of Lick Creek, Alder Creek, and Willow Creek. The map documents a specific moment in Wyoming land management, capturing an Indefinite Boundary and the convergence of county lines at high-altitude landmarks like Pow Wow Point.
