1981 Map of Lizard Head Peak

About this map

Lizard Head Peak stands as a central monument in this high-altitude landscape of the Wind River Range, where the Continental Divide separates the Shoshone National Forest to the east from the Bridger National Forest and Bridger Wilderness to the west. The area is defined by its dramatic glacial features, most notably the Cirque of the Towers, a collection of granite spires including Wolfs Head, Pingora Peak, and War Bonnet Peak. This 1981 edition captures a network of high-country water bodies like Lonesome Lake and Washakie Lake fed by the Washakie Glacier. The map serves as a vital record for tracing early routes like the Lizard Head Trail and the remote Pack Trail systems that provided access to these peaks and valleys before modern alpine recreation patterns were fully established. The boundary between Fremont and Sublette counties follows the serrated ridgelines of the divide.
