2015 Map of Kisinger Lakes

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the western reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by dramatic geological formations like Pinnacle Buttes and Elk Ridge, which overlook a network of alpine water systems including Kisinger Lakes and the headwaters of the Wind River. A complex system of historical transit routes, such as the Morman Trl, Sheridan Trl, and Pelham Lake Trl, suggests a legacy of seasonal migration and exploration through these mountain passes. Small water features like Brooks Lake Creek Falls and Basin Creek Meadows indicate a diverse riparian environment amidst the higher peaks, while secondary roads such as Brooks Lake Rd provide modern access to this preserved wilderness area.
