1968 Map of Green River Lakes

About this map

The upper reaches of the Green River dominate this 1968 survey of the Wind River Range, where the river widens into the prominent Green River Lakes. This landscape is defined by the intersection of the Bridger National Forest and the Shoshone National Forest, with the Continental Divide winding through the high peaks on the eastern edge of the sheet. Human presence is concentrated near the lower lake, marked by the GP Bar Ranch and a Campground, serving as gateways for the extensive trail system that includes the Highline Trail and Lakeside Trail. The map details a high-elevation environment of glacial features and natural landmarks, such as the Clear Creek Natural Bridge and numerous water bodies like Slide Lake and Native Lake. Significant elevation changes are recorded from the banks of Roaring Fork to the summit of Osborn Mountain.
