2015 Map of Bridger Pass

About this map

Bridger Pass stands as a significant waypoint along the high-elevation geography of the Continental Divide in Carbon County. This 2015 survey documents a rugged corridor where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the landscape, flanked by the prominent Atlantic Rim to the east. The terrain is characterized by deep drainages like Squaw Canyon and Jep Canyon, which channel seasonal water into larger systems such as Separation Creek. Remote access is provided by unpaved routes like Twentymile Rd and Bridger Pass Rd, tracing the same paths used by travelers for generations through this high-desert environment. Geographic landmarks like Miller Hill and Hay Gulch emphasize the complex topography of the region, providing a modern look at the hydrologic and topographic patterns of the Wyoming interior.
