About this map

Fremont Peak towers over the spine of the Wind River Range in this survey of northwestern Wyoming, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the Continental Divide. The map captures a transition from the high peaks like Gannett Pk and Mt Sacagawea to the lower grazing lands and water sources along the Green River. Human presence is marked by isolated outpost life, including Kendall PO and several family-named homesteads such as Lozier's Ranch, Hill's Ranch, and Luman's Ranch.

Resource extraction and early settlement infrastructure are visible through the Redal Mine and a local Sawmill near Flattop Mtn. Historic transit routes across the Divide are anchored by Union Pass, while the rugged interior is dotted with remote shelters like McShirley's Cabin and Miller's Cabin. This area spans three national forests—the Teton, Shoshone, and Bridger—reflecting the region's management in the early twentieth century.
