1968 Map of Fayette Lake

About this map

Fayette Lake and its surrounding high-altitude basin are preserved here during a 1968 field survey of the Bridger National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Pole Creek connects a string of glacial features including Half Moon Lake, Burnt Lake, and Meadow Lake. Human presence is largely limited to recreational and management infrastructure, such as the Upper Half Moon Campground and a Gaging Sta on the creek. The map details the transition into the Bridger Wilderness, marked by the Wilderness Boundary and a network of pack trails like the Surveyor Park Trail. Significant vertical relief is anchored by Fortification Mountain and Half Moon Mountain, while the inclusion of Blacks Cabin provides a rare point of named historical structure in an otherwise remote backcountry setting.
