2015 Map of Big Sandy Opening

About this map

The Temple Creek Summer Home Area serves as a central point of interest in this high-altitude landscape within the Bridger National Forest. The terrain is defined by its significant hydrography, including the Big Sandy River and a dense network of alpine lakes such as Poston Lake, Legion Lake, and Diamond Lake. The mapping of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail illustrates the area's importance for long-distance recreation, cutting through the high country near Laturio Mtn. Notable landforms like Irish Canyon and Muddy Ridge provide clear landmarks for navigating the watershed. The presence of the Big Sandy Opening and associated Big Sandy Opening Rd indicates a long-standing gateway for travelers and seasonal residents entering this part of the Wind River Range.
