2017 Map of Bridger Pass

About this map

Bridger Pass stands as the central historical landmark on this high-altitude Wyoming survey, marking a vital crossing point on the Continental Divide. The landscape is defined by the massive uplift of the Atlantic Rim and Miller Hill, with dramatic topography carved by Scotty Canyon and Jep Canyon. This rugged terrain serves as a significant drainage divide for the region's complex water system, where headwaters like Separation Cr and Eagle Cr flow from the slopes. The map traces the modern path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail- Wyoming Portion, which follows the high ridges once traversed by early western expeditions. Grounded in the 2017 Bureau of Land Management data, the sheet documents the remote road network including Bridger Pass Rd and Twenty Mile Rd, providing essential context for the contemporary management of this vast open range.
