1981 Map of Lizard Head Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the backbone for this high-altitude survey along the boundary of Fremont and Sublette counties. This wilderness landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Wind River Range, where glaciers and snowfields persist alongside namesake landmarks like Lizard Head Peak and Pingora Peak. The map documents a complex drainage network where the North Fork Popo Agie River originates near Lizard Head Meadows, and high-elevation basins hold numerous alpine waters such as Lonesome Lake, Washakie Lake, and Cook Lake. Movement through this difficult terrain is restricted to established paths like the Bears Ears Trail and Lizard Head Trail, which negotiate steep passes including Jackass Pass and Texas Pass. The interplay between the Shoshone National Forest and the Bridger Wilderness highlights a region managed for its natural state, showing no permanent human settlements or roads, only the topographic signatures of permanent ice like Washakie Glacier.
