About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this section of Fremont County, where high-altitude hydrology and recreational infrastructure converge. The landscape is defined by the Middle Popo Agie River and its dramatic passage through Sinks Canyon, a geographical focal point for the region. Evidence of early mountain transit and utility remains visible through features like the Sheep Bridge and the Sheep Bridge Trail, which historically provided essential crossings over the rugged drainage systems.

Water management and natural alpine lakes characterize the high country, from the Worthen Meadow Reservoir to the deep waters of Christina Lake and Island Lake near Cony Mtn. The trail network, including the Stough Creek Lakes Trail, reveals how the area has been navigated for generations. These names, combined with features like Wild Horse Meadow and McMahone Park, reflect a legacy of land use involving livestock grazing and mountain access in the southern Wind River Range.
