1968 Map of Fremont Peak South

About this map

Fremont Peak and Jackson Peak anchor this high-elevation survey of the Wind River Range, where the Continental Divide forms a jagged boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and the Bridger National Forest. The landscape is defined by its glacial history, with active ice masses like Bull Lake Glacier, Knife Point Glacier, and Harrower Glacier feeding complex drainage systems. To the east, the waters of Bull Lake Creek descend through the Brown Cliffs, while the western slopes contain the extensive Cook Lakes network and the headwaters of Pole Creek. The map documents a strictly non-motorized infrastructure, highlighting the Continental Divide (Pack) Trail and Highline Trail as primary routes through the Bridger Wilderness. This 1960s study captures the region before contemporary climatic shifts significantly altered the margins of these high-altitude glaciers and perennial snowfields.
