2017 Map of Downs Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the heart of this high-altitude landscape, forming the natural boundary between Shoshone National Forest to the east and Bridger National Forest to the west. This segment of the Wind River Range is defined by a dense concentration of glacial features and prominent summits, including Downs Mtn, Torrey Peak, and Yukon Peak. The hydrological patterns are complex, with headwaters like Downs Fork and Roaring Fork feeding into a network of alpine basins. The map documents numerous remote water bodies such as Ross Lake, Mile Long Lake, and the curiously named Bomber Lake. Terrain features like No Mans Pass and Ram Flat highlight the challenging topography that has historically shaped travel and land management along the Fremont and Sublette County line.
