1967 Map of Graham Peak

About this map

Commissary Ridge and Absaroka Ridge dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Bridger National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and alpine basins, notably containing Lake Alice and the Fontenelle Lakes. A significant historical corridor is preserved here in the form of the Emigrant Trail (Lander Cutoff), which traverses the northern section of the map near LaBarge Creek. This route represents a vital branch of the Oregon Trail, providing a shorter path for 19th-century travelers through the western mountains. Scattered throughout the peaks like Mount Isabel and Graham Peak are markers of localized human presence, including the high-altitude camp at White Saddle and a remote Drill Hole in the southwest corner, reflecting the intersection of early migration routes and later natural resource exploration.
