1967 Map of Fontenelle Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Bridger National Forest defines the western landscape of this Lincoln County survey, where high ridges run in parallel north-to-south alignments. The drainage of Fontenelle Creek dominates the central basin, joined by numerous named tributaries including Minnehaha Creek and South Fork Fontenelle Creek. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, most notably at the Fontenelle Hogbacks and the sharp rise of Absaroka Ridge. While the territory is largely undeveloped, the map documents early resource exploration with drill holes situated near Little Bear Creek and specialized infrastructure like a Ditch and BR 7362 in the southern reaches of Mammoth Hollow. Geologists and researchers can trace the distinct ridgelines of Commissary Ridge and Oyster Ridge which dictate the flow of the local watershed during the late 1960s.
