About this map

Bridger National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Sublette County, where historical routes of westward expansion intersect with modern conservation. The Lander Cutoff Rd and Elkhorn Cutoff Rd traverse the southern portion of the quadrangle, marking the enduring paths of early emigrant trails across the Continental Divide. These historic bypasses are flanked by a complex drainage network including Little Sandy Cr and Lander Cr, illustrating the rugged hydrology of the region's foothills.

Water management is prominent through the presence of the Continental Divide Ditch and the secluded Sheet Lake. In the northern sections, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through high elevations near Block and Tackle Hill, while Jensen Meadows serves as a central landmark for this sparsely settled backcountry. The map also records numerous creek branches such as Middle Fork Squaw Cr and W Fork Squaw Cr, which feed the river systems of the western slope.
