2012 Map of De Pass

About this map

De Pass sits within a high-elevation landscape defined by deep draws and significant peaks such as Greer Peak and Fuller Peak. This Fremont County terrain is marked by a network of historic ranching and homesteading sites, including the Day Homestead and Nichols Ranch, which reflect the early 21st-century cattle and sheep operations in the region. The map reveals how local travel relies on established paths like the Old Bridger Trl and Dry Bridger Rd, which skirt around Cottonwood Draw and Joe Johns Basin. These routes follow the natural drainage patterns of Bridger Cr, W Bridger Cr, and S Bridger Cr, illustrating the vital relationship between water sources and settlement in this arid environment. Other scattered landmarks such as Golden Cabin and the Philp Ranch highlight the sparse, remote nature of these mountain holdings.
