1909 Map of Fremont Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

The Continental Divide zigzags across this high-altitude landscape, defining the watershed in the early twentieth century within the Teton National Forest and Bridger National Forest. The map documents a sparse but vital network of early homesteads and administrative outposts, such as Woolery's Ranch and the Sawmill Rangers Cabin, alongside the Petre's Ranch Kendall PO. While the terrain is dominated by peaks like Fremont Peak and Gannett Pk, there are signs of localized resource extraction, notably a solitary Coal Mine near Little Flattop Mtn. The hydrology is exceptionally detailed, showing the glacial origins of the New Fork River and high-basin lakes like Klondike Lake and Island Lake. This survey provides a primary record of the trail-and-ranch economy before the era of modern development, noting landmarks like the Natural Bridge and Union Pass that served as essential transit points through the mountains.
