2021 Map of Gannett Peak

About this map

Gannett Peak towers at the center of this high-alpine landscape, marking a formidable point on the Continental Divide where the borders of Sublette and Fremont counties meet. The survey illustrates the complex glacial and hydrologic systems of the Wind River Range, where the Green River begins its long journey south through Three Forks Park and Trail Creek Park. This wilderness is split between the Bridger National Forest and Shoshone National Forest, with the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl winding through the western slopes. The map details an environment of permanent ice and rock, including the Grasshopper Glacier and significant summits like Mt Woodrow Wilson and Mt Warren. Isolated water bodies such as Stonehammer Lake and Peak Lake sit in high cirques, while names like Gooseneck Pinnacle and The Sphinx indicate the sharp, descriptive nomenclature used by mountaineers and surveyors in this region.
