About this map

Commissary Ridge and Absaroka Ridge dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Bridger National Forest, as mapped in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Graham Peak, Mount Isabel, and Fontenelle Mountain, which overlook a complex network of high mountain drainages. The hydrology of the area is centered on Alice Lake and the Fontenelle Lakes, with numerous smaller bodies like Twin Creek Lakes and Travis Lake pocketing the peaks.

A notable historical layer is present in the northern portion of the map, where the Emigrant Trail and Lander Cutoff traverse the terrain. These routes, alongside various Pack Trails and the Poker Creek Trail, illustrate the vital role this area played in early westward movement. The presence of a Drill Hole near Slide Creek suggests 20th-century exploration within the wilderness, while named meadows like Mule Meadow hint at the area's use as a staging ground for pack teams and livestock.
