1978 Map of Gannett Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Gannett Peak stands as the highest point on the Continental Divide within this topographic survey, marking the jagged spine of the Wind River Range. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the alpine heights of the Bridger Wilderness and the broad valley floor of the Wind River Indian Reservation. High-altitude water sources like Fremont Lake and New Fork Lakes feed the western slopes, while the eastern drainage is dominated by the course of the Wind River. Small communities and outposts such as Burris, Crowheart, and Lenore are situated along the lower elevations, primarily following the path of the river and highway. The mapping reveals a complex glacial geography where high plateaus like Goat Flat and prominent ridges such as Piñon Ridge separate vast drainage basins across the Fremont and Sublette county lines.
