About this map

The Wind River Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the administrative boundaries of the Shoshone National Forest, Fitzpatrick Wilderness, and the Wind River Indian Reservation converge. This 1991 survey captures a complex glacial terrain defined by prominent crests and a dense network of alpine water bodies. Significant hydrologic features like Big Milky Lake, Little Milky Lake, and Kirkland Lake sit at the headwaters of the North Fork Willow Creek and South Fork Willow Creek systems.

A notable geographic divide is marked by Indian Pass, which serves as a high-point crossing between the reservation lands and the wilderness area. Further north, the topography centers on Bold Mountain and the drainage of Bob Creek, surrounded by remote lakes including Horseshoe Lake and Native Lake. The map illustrates a strictly natural landscape, absent of permanent settlements, focused instead on the preservation boundaries and the hydrography of the eastern slope.
