About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of Fremont County, where dramatic vertical relief is defined by Sacagawea Ridge and Dinwoody Peak. The drainage patterns on this 2017 survey reveal a complex system of alpine waters, from the glacial feed of Upper Dinwoody Lake to the meandering Dinwoody Cr. The presence of the Ink Wells near Relic Cr suggests geothermal or mineral activity typical of the Wind River Range foothills.

Evidence of human movement through this backcountry is preserved in routes like Gannett Peak Rd and W Dinwoody Lake Rd, which provide access to secluded spots like Hays Park and the sheltered Hidden Valley. The map details the transition from the high eastern slopes of Dinwoody Ridge down toward Mud Lake, illustrating the stark hydrology of a region where ephemeral streams like Little Dry Cr contrast with permanent features such as Cold Springs.
