About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape, marking the point where the headwaters of several major drainages begin their descent. Based on field checks from the late 1960s, the map reveals a wilderness area where the boundaries of the Shoshone National Forest, Teton National Forest, and Bridger National Forest converge. At the northeastern corner, Union Pass serves as a critical geographic and historical transit point, situated near the secluded Lake Of The Woods.

Logistics in this remote terrain rely on established paths like the Highline Trail and the Leeds Creek Trail, which navigate the complex topography of Pinon Ridge. The map documents a network of hydrologic features including Leeds Creek, Salt Creek, and South Fork Fish Creek, alongside small high-country basins such as Ryan Park Creek and Mud Lake. This area, spanning the Fremont and Sublette County line, represents a pristine look at the Wyoming high country before modern developments.
