2021 Map of Fossil Hill

About this map

Shoshone National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the Middle Popo Agie River and Little Popo Agie River drain the eastern slopes of the Wind River Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the steep summit of Fossil Hill and the rugged Freak Mountains. Water management for lower-elevation agriculture is evident through the Enterprise Ditch and Walker Ditch, which redirect flow across the high basins. Recreational and fire management infrastructure appears via the Meyer Lookout and numerous backcountry routes like the Middle Fork Trail and Wolf Trail. The map also details several family-named and topographic landmarks, including Bayer Mountain, Table Mountain, and the deep incision of Sinks Canyon where the river enters its namesake underground passage.
