About this map

Bridger National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of Lincoln County in this 2015 study, dominated by the prominent spines of Commissary Ridge and Elk Creek Ridge. The hydrology of the region is centered on the Hams Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Hams Fork Cr and the S Fork Hams Fork, which carve through the high country. The map captures the remote character of the Wyoming wilderness, showing the high-elevation waters of Devils Hole Lakes and the drainage of Devils Hole Cr.

A network of specialized forest routes and trails provides the primary access to this backcountry, with the Hams Fork Cutoff and Indian Creek Ridge roads traversing the difficult terrain. The presence of named openings like Red Park amidst the ridges suggests the traditional importance of these high meadows for grazing or transit. Other prominent landforms such as Middle Ridge and Indian Ridge serve as primary landmarks for those navigating the upper reaches of the Little Indian Cr and Roaring Creek drainages.
