About this map

Lava Mtn and Sublette Peak define the high-elevation divide where the Teton National Forest meets the Shoshone National Forest. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Continental Divide, which separates the headwaters of the Wind River from the westward-flowing drainages of N Fork Fish Cr. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Two Ocean Mtn, Pilot Knob, and the broad alpine meadows of Beauty Park.

Historically significant for its water resources and wilderness paths, the map highlights recreational and logistical points including Wind River Lake and Brooks Lake. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern half of the map, passing near Barbers Point and providing a modern corridor through this wilderness that follows traditional paths along the spine of the continent.
