About this map

Absaroka Ridge and Commissary Ridge dominate this section of the Bridger National Forest, forming a high-elevation landscape defined by sharp topographical relief and extensive drainage networks. The map details the headwaters of numerous streams, including Fontenelle Cr and La Barge Creek, which carve through the Fontenelle Hogbacks and the Pomeroy Basin. This area in western Wyoming is characterized by its isolation and its role as a resource for forest management and recreation.

Backcountry access is represented by a network of established paths such as the Little Fall Creek Trl, West Bear Trap Trl, and Indian Mt Trl. These routes navigate the complex terrain of Mahogany Ridge and Indian Ridge, providing insight into the movement of people and livestock through these highlands. The preservation of family-named landmarks like Minnie Holden Cr and Bear Gulch offers a genealogical link to the early ranching or homesteading history of Lincoln County.
