About this map

Bridger National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lincoln County, where the Greys River carves a central path through steep terrain. The drainage network is particularly dense here, fed by numerous tributaries such as McCain Creek, Hotfoot Creek, and White Creek. Local topography is anchored by prominent elevations like Star Peaks and the long expanse of Mid Ridge, which separates the many creek basins.

Evidence of historical backcountry access is visible through the primitive Way Trail and the primary Greys River Rd, which follows the river's course. Small alpine water bodies, including Stump Lake, Lost Lake, and the Murphy Lakes, are scattered throughout the northern and western sections of the quadrangle. The naming conventions, such as Grizzly Basin and Dead Dog Cr, reflect the region's wilderness character and its long-standing use for timber and grazing management.
