2015 Map of Horseshoe Lake

About this map

Bridger National Forest defines this high-elevation wilderness within the Wind River Range, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern half of the quadrangle. This 2015 survey reveals a dense concentration of glacial lakes and granite peaks, anchored by landmarks such as Mt Baldy in the north and North Fork Peak in the east. The landscape is interconnected by historic routes like the Highline and Victor Lake Trail, which provide access to remote water bodies including Horseshoe Lake, Lake George, and Lake Ethel. Significant topographical features like Hat Pass and North Fork Canyon illustrate the dramatic relief of the terrain, while the drainage of the N Fork Boulder Cr flows through Boulder Canyon in the southeast corner. The map captures an era of preserved wilderness, documenting the placement of numerous named alpine lakes such as Norman Lakes, Chris Lake, and Lake Sequa.
