About this map

Shoshone National Forest and Bridger National Forest meet along the high alpine spine of the Wind River Range in this modern survey. The topographical divide is anchored by Atlantic Peak and Christina Pass, serving as a critical hydrologic split where headwaters like the Little Popo Agie River flow toward the Atlantic drainage while the Little Sweetwater River begins its journey toward the Pacific.

Remote backcountry access is traced through an extensive network of footpaths and primitive routes, most notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl which traverses the high ridges. Large alpine bodies of water such as Christina Lake and Windy Lake dominate the glacial basins, surrounded by named summits like Rennecker Peak and Granite Peak. The map documents a landscape defined by its high-elevation drainage patterns and the historic transit points used to cross the range, including Sioux Pass.
