1956 Map of Fish Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-elevation wilderness in the mid-1950s, defining the boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the massif of Fish Lake Mountain and the high alpine waters of Fish Lake. Human presence is marked by seasonal ranching and recreation, exemplified by the Red Flat Cow Camp and a complex network of navigation routes including the Trappers Creek Trail and various Pack Trails. A distinct transition in drainage occurs here, as the headwaters of Warm Spring Creek and its South Fork flow alongside others like Bullmoose Creek and Leeds Creek. The map documents a period before modern motorized access became prevalent, showing only a few Jeep Trails cutting through the forest and mountains.
