1968 Map of Green River Lakes

About this map

The Bridger Wilderness and Bridger National Forest dominate this landscape, capturing the upper reaches of the Green River as it flows through the Green River Lakes. The 1968 field-check records a high-altitude terrain defined by glacial lakes and dramatic vertical relief, where the Continental Divide forms a natural boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and the Bridger lands. Sparse human infrastructure is limited to the GP Bar Ranch, a nearby Campground, and a network of footpaths including the Highline Trail and Lakeside Trail. Unique geological landmarks such as the Clear Creek Natural Bridge and several cascades like Slide Creek Falls indicate a wilderness area largely untouched by industrial development. This survey serves as an essential record for tracing historic access routes to remote peaks like Lost Eagle Peak and Flat Top Mountain.
