1964 Map of Fremont Lake South

About this map

Fremont Lake dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a glacial centerpiece for the surrounding Bridger National Forest. To the southwest, the town of Pinedale is visible at the edge of the survey, where the Highland Ditch and Pine Creek manage the local water flow. The map illustrates a transitional zone between the high peaks and the valley floor, characterized by steep elevations like Fortification Mountain and the distinct Fremont Ridge that separates the main lake from the smaller Soda Lake and Little Soda Lake. Recreational development is evident through established points such as the Sandy Beach Picnic Area, Half Moon Campground, and a dedicated Winter Sports Area on the eastern slopes. These features, along with the Summit Lake Trail and Skyline Drive, reflect the area's mid-century role as a gateway for mountain exploration and local timber and water management.
