About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the central spine for this high-altitude landscape where Fremont Co meets Sublette Co. The topography is defined by dramatic peaks and glacier-fed waters, including the namesake Downs Mtn and the striking Torrey Peak in the northeast corner. This environment is split between the Shoshone National Forest and the Bridger National Forest, showcasing a wilderness area dominated by jagged terrain and a dense network of alpine lakes such as Mile Long Lake, Upper Ross Lake, and Iceberg Lake.

Remote landmarks such as The Guardian and Spider Peak overlook a system of drainage basins that feed into the Roaring Fork, Downs Fork, and Jakeys Fork. The placement of No Mans Pass and Goat Flat indicates the challenging nature of the travel routes through these mountains. This map provides a detailed view of the high country before it descends into lower valleys, capturing the complex glacial hydrology of features like Bomber Lake and Kevin Lake.
