1967 Map of Fish Creek Park

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the crest of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Wind and Green Rivers begin their divergent journeys. This 1967 field-checked survey captures a remote wilderness corner at the intersection of the Shoshone National Forest, Teton National Forest, and Bridger National Forest. The map is centered on Union Pass, a historically significant crossing for early mountain men and indigenous travelers. Below the pass, the terrain drops toward the basin of Lake Of The Woods and follows the meandering course of South Fork Fish Creek. The absence of roads is notable, with the region instead connected by an intricate network of Jeep Trails and the Highline Trail (Pack). Prominent landforms like Pinon Ridge and water bodies such as Mud Lake and Crow Creek illustrate the high-country hydrology and geography of the Wind River Range.
