1991 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high country, serving as the defining boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest. This 1991 revision, based on photography from the 1950s and late 1980s, documents a landscape shaped by hydrology and seasonal use. The presence of the Red Flat Cow Camp underscores the area's history as a grazing range, while the Lake of the Woods Trail provides evidence of the established backcountry network. Significant water features including Fish Lake and Trout Creek Lake feed a complex system of drainages such as Warm Spring Creek and Bullmoose Creek. Dominating the central topography is Fish Lake Mountain, which sits near the Ranger District Boundary, marking a transition in administrative management across this high-altitude wilderness.
