About this map

Cony Mountain stands as a central peak in a landscape defined by high-altitude meadows and glacier-fed waters within the Shoshone National Forest. This 1991 survey illustrates the transition from managed forest lands to the protected alpine terrain of the Popo Agie Wilderness, where Popo Agie Mountain and Atlantic Canyon dominate the southern reaches. The map documents a complex hydrological system of natural lakes and reservoirs, including Worthen Meadow Reservoir and Leg Lake, which feed the various forks of the Popo Agie.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident along the eastern slopes, marked by the Enterprise Supply Ditch and the Fremont County Youth Camp near Townsend Park. Notable for researchers are the specific meadow locations like Wild Horse Meadow and Deer Park, which have long served as grazing and navigational landmarks in this corner of the Wind River Range. The inclusion of the Sheep Bridge crossing on the Middle Popo Agie River provides a specific point of reference for historical pack trails and early forest management routes.
