2017 Map of Big Park

About this map

Collett Flat sits at the edge of this high-elevation landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography is defined by the headwaters of the Dry Fork Smiths Fork. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Wyoming Range, characterized by a complex network of canyons and high-altitude basins typical of the western slope of the Rockies. The map is a testament to the modern era of conservation and resource management, showing how the Forest Service and other agencies track the transition from private land to public domain. While many of the historic trails and minor names may have faded, the primary geographic markers like the fork of the river remain critical for navigating this remote corner of the Bridger National Forest.
