About this map

Kendall Mountain rises as the central landmark of this high-country survey, which documents a landscape defined by dramatic glacial basins and protected federal lands. The 1968 field-check captures the area within the Bridger National Forest and the Bridger Wilderness, highlighting the intersection of recreation and resource management. A network of primitive transport routes, including the Boulder Basin Trail and various pack trails, suggests a period when this region was primarily accessed by foot or horse.

Evidence of human habitation and navigation is concentrated around features like the Circle S Ranch and the named clearing of Kim Rush Park. Water systems dominate the drainage patterns, from the New Fork River in the south to high-altitude features like Jim Creek Lake and the Lower Boulder Basin. The presence of the New Fork Lookout Point underscores the era's reliance on stationary high-ground stations for fire observation and forest management.
