1968 Map of Big Sheep Mountain

About this map

The Green River flows through the northern reaches of this Wyoming high-country landscape, where the Bridger National Forest meets the protected expanse of the Bridger Wilderness. The 1968 survey details a rugged terrain defined by significant peaks like Big Sheep Mountain and Battleship Mountain, alongside the smaller Little Sheep Mountain. Movement through this wilderness is traced by the Highline Trail and several unpaved paths designated as Jeep Trail, reflecting the area's use for recreation and resource management during the mid-20th century. High-altitude water bodies including Brook Lake and Mud Lake sit among the drainage basins of Moose Creek and Crow Creek, while the Roaring Fork Basin occupies the northeast corner. This map provides a clear look at the Wilderness Boundary and the natural landmarks that have guided backcountry travelers for generations, from Gypsum Park to the prominent Red Hill.
