1964 Map of Fremont Lake South

About this map

Pinedale sits at the southwestern corner of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the dramatic glacial lakes and forest lands of the Bridger National Forest. The topography is dominated by the long, deep reach of Fremont Lake, flanked by the high ground of Fremont Ridge and the prominent Fortification Mountain. This survey illustrates the early development of recreational and agricultural infrastructure in the region, including the Winter Sports Area near Surveyor Park and various camps such as the Half Moon Lake Campground. The intricate water management system is visible through the Highland Ditch and Fremont Ditch, which redirect water from the high basins toward the valley floor. Pack routes like the Summit Lake Trail and Lowline Trail snake through the northern timberline, marking the traditional paths into the high backcountry long before modern road expansion.
