2015 Map of Downs Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape of the Wind River Range, serving as the boundary between the Bridger National Forest to the west and the Shoshone National Forest to the east. Dominated by massive peaks such as Downs Mtn and Torrey Peak, the area is characterized by significant glaciation, including the Continental Glacier, Downs Glacier, and Grasshopper Glacier. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by water and ice, where drainage systems like Jakeys Fork and W Torrey Cr feed into alpine basins. Large water bodies such as Ross Lake and Mile Long Lake sit among high plateaus like Ram Flat and Goat Flat. The map also details several high-elevation passes and basins, including No Mans Pass and Bear Basin, illustrating the complex topographic barriers of the Wyoming interior.
