1991 Map of Kisinger Lakes

About this map

The Tie Hack Historical Monument stands as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, marking the region's legacy of timber harvesting for the railroad. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations, from the jagged Pinnacle Buttes to the alpine Kisinger Lakes. Water dominates the geography, with the Wind River and Sheridan Creek carving through the valleys, while Brooks Lake Creek Falls and various unnamed falls dot the drainage basins. Human presence is concentrated around the Pinnacle Heights Summer Home Group near Brooks Lake, while more utilitarian markers like a First Aid Station and a Gravel Pit reflect the area's use by foresters and seasonal residents. This 1991 revision provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of the Middle Fork Long Creek and West Fork Long Creek before modern forest management shifts.
