About this map

Green River carves through this high-altitude landscape in the Wind River Range, where the water collects in the prominent Green River Lakes before flowing north. The area is defined by its strictly protected wilderness, with the Continental Divide forming the eastern boundary of the Bridger Wilderness and Shoshone National Forest. The presence of the GP Bar Ranch and a nearby Campground at the edge of the lakes indicates the early development of recreational access and private holdings within the larger forest preserve.

Backcountry travelers can trace the Highline Trail and Porcupine Trail through a terrain of high peaks and significant natural landmarks like the Clear Creek Natural Bridge. The map records a series of distinct water features, including Slide Lake and Lake Gadsby, alongside dramatic vertical drops at Clear Creek Falls and Slide Creek Falls. Names like Alexander Park and Osborn Mountain point to the local history of land usage and exploration in this remote portion of Sublette County.
