1968 Map of Bridger Lakes

About this map

Island Lake and the high basins of the Bridger Wilderness define this high-altitude landscape in the Wind River Range. Surveyed in 1968, the map illustrates a complex alpine topography where glaciers carved out deep basins now filled by the Titcomb Lakes, Seneca Lake, and the sprawling Sweeney Lakes chain. The network of paths, including the Highline Trail and the Indian Pass Trail, suggests the area's long-standing importance for back-country traversal and recreation within the Bridger National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Photographers Point and Fremont Crossing provide specific nodes of human orientation within the intricate drainage patterns of Bridger Creek and Pole Creek. Peaks like Mount Lester and Guiterrez Peak anchor the ridgelines that separate these high-water systems.
