About this map

The high alpine environment of the Bridger National Forest dominates this 1960s landscape, characterized by a complex network of glacial basins and high-elevation parklands. Large water bodies like Willow Lake and the northern reach of Fremont Lake serve as the primary anchors for the region's recreational and administrative infrastructure. The presence of the Willow Creek Lookout and Crows Nest Lookout indicates the essential fire-watch system maintained within the Bridger Wilderness during this era.

Primitive transportation routes are central to the map's character, featuring the terminus of Skyline Drive and various pack trails such as the Lowline Trail. Notable visitor sites like the Upper Fremont Lake Campground and the Ranger Station near Elkhart Park Campground illustrate the development of forest access for backcountry exploration. Numerous smaller named waters, including Snake Lake, Gottfried Lake, and Rainbow Lake, highlight the intricate drainage patterns of the Wind River Range.
