1968 Map of Ink Wells

About this map

Shoshone National Forest contains a complex glacial and alpine landscape in this late 1960s survey of the Wind River Range. The high-altitude terrain is defined by significant ice features like the Grasshopper Glacier and a series of interconnected water bodies including Bomber Lake, Golden Lake, and the Phillips Lakes. The map reveals the established backcountry infrastructure of the era, centered on the Dinwoody Trail and the Ink Wells Trail, which provided access to remote meadows such as Shangri-la Meadows and Big Meadows.
