About this map

Bridger National Forest defines much of this terrain where the high country of western Wyoming meets the Lincoln and Sublette County line. The map highlights a complex series of mountain ridges including Commissary Ridge and Absaroka Ridge, separated by drainages like Little Fall Creek and Roaring Creek. A distinct geological transition is visible in the eastern portion of the sheet, where the dramatic Fontenelle Hogbacks rise near Cabin Creek, signaling a change from the forested uplands toward the lower basins.

Remote basins such as Pomeroy Basin and Bear Gulch indicate a landscape primarily used for seasonal grazing and resource management rather than permanent settlement. The network of creeks, including Minnie Holden Creek and La Barge Creek, suggests the vital role of water in this high-altitude environment. Only a single significant named thoroughfare, Little Fall Creek Rd, penetrates the interior, emphasizing the isolation of Mahogany Ridge and Indian Ridge.
