1967 Map of Fontenelle Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bridger National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, where the high mountain terrain is defined by a series of prominent north-south ridges and deep drainages. Commissary Ridge and Indian Ridge rise sharply above the western valleys, while the central Fontenelle Basin serves as a gathering point for numerous waterways, including Minnehaha Creek and Fontenelle Creek. The map documents a landscape primarily utilized for forest management and resource exploration, as evidenced by a Pack Trail and several Drill Hole locations near Little Bear Creek. In the east, the steep Oyster Ridge and the Hogbacks overlook Mammoth Hollow, creating a complex geological profile of the Wyoming Range. These features illustrate the drainage patterns of the upper South Fork and Middle Fork watersheds before they reach the high desert plains.
