1968 Map of Gannett Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Gannett Peak, the highest point in Wyoming, dominates this high-altitude survey of the Wind River Range. The Continental Divide splits the landscape, separating the Bridger Wilderness within the Bridger National Forest from the Shoshone National Forest and its Fitzpatrick Wilderness. This environment is defined by extensive glacial systems, including the Gannett Glacier, Dinwoody Glacier, Mammoth Glacier, and Gooseneck Glacier. Dozens of alpine lakes such as Golden Lakes, the Titcomb Lakes, and Klondike Lake gather snowmelt across the high basins. The Highline Trail serves as the primary artery through the western slopes, connecting landmarks like Trail Creek Park and the Green River. Along the jagged ridgelines, prominent summits such as Mount Woodrow Wilson, The Sphinx, and Mount Helen highlight the extreme topography of the era's backcountry.
