About this map

Titcomb Basin and the alpine heights of the Wind River Range define this high-altitude landscape as it was documented in the late 1960s. The region is marked by a complex network of glacial water bodies, including Island Lake, Seneca Lake, and the remote Sauerkraut Lakes. Significant mountain passes like Gunsight Pass and Threlkeld Pass provided critical transit points through the high peaks of the Bridger Wilderness.

The hydrography of the area is dominated by Fremont Creek, which feeds into larger bodies such as Long Lake and Upper Long Lake. Terrestrial navigation in this era relied on established paths like the High Line Trail and the Indian Pass Trail, which intersect at points like Fremont Crossing. Other notable landmarks include Photographers Point, a traditional vantage for documenting the surrounding summits of Guiterrez Peak and Mount Lester.
