About this map

Griffith Ranch and Lava Creek Ranch anchor this high-altitude landscape in the Wind River valley, where cattle ranching and recreational camps define the human presence. This 2012 survey documents the corridor where the Wind River flows southeast, fed by tributaries like Brooks Lake Cr and Lava Cr. The terrain is marked by dramatic geological features, including the Pinnacle Buttes to the north and the expansive Elk Ridge to the south.

Logistics and backcountry access are centered on the Falls Campground near the Brooks Lake Creek Falls, while historical pathways like the Mormon Trl and Pelham Lake Trl trace older routes through the mountains. Private holdings such as the Triangle C Ranch and Wind River Ranch sit alongside remote outposts like Cross Cow Camp, illustrating the specialized ranching economy that persists in these high meadows near Kisinger Lakes.
