2017 Map of Lava Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-altitude landscape of the Absaroka Range, marking the boundary between Teton and Fremont Counties. This 2017 survey details the headwaters where the Wind River begins its journey from Wind River Lake, surrounded by prominent summits like Two Ocean Mtn, Sublette Peak, and the namesake Lava Mtn. The terrain is split between the Teton National Forest to the west and the Shoshone National Forest to the east, with the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winding across the ridges. Evidence of historical access and recreation is visible along Brooks Lake Rd and at Barbers Point, while the complex drainage network including the N Fork of Fish Creek and Moccasin Cr illustrates the primitive character of this protected wilderness during the early 21st century.
