1986 Map of Halls Meadow Spring

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high-altitude landscape along the border of Sublette and Fremont counties, marking a critical hydrological and geographic boundary in the American West. At the time of this mid-1980s survey, the area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a complex network of seasonal and perennial watercourses including the Sweetwater River and Lander Creek. To the west, the Prospect Mountains rise sharply, while the northeastern corner of the map captures a portion of the Bridger National Forest. The presence of the Halls Meadow Spring in the southeast indicates a vital water source in this arid environment, situated near the headwaters of Hay Creek. This provisional survey preserves the precise alignment of unimproved roads and trails used by ranchers and outdoorsmen before the digital era.
