2012 Map of Bridger Peak

About this map

Sierra Madre high-country terrain dominates this portion of Carbon County, where the Continental Divide winds through a landscape defined by significant summits and alpine hydrology. The Edison Monument stands as a notable landmark on the eastern slopes, commemorating Thomas Edison’s visit to the region. Water management and natural drainage patterns are clear throughout the quadrangle, from the engineered Belvidere Ditch to the pristine waters of North Spring Creek Lake and Battle Lake. Numerous peaks, including Bridger Peak, Quartzite Peak, and Vulcan Mountain, provide vertical orientation across a network of seasonal creeks like Haggarty Cr and Jack Cr. Recreational access is centered around remote sites such as Haskins Creek Campground and Lost Creek Campground, which serve as gateways to this high-altitude wilderness.
