1981 Map of Lizard Head Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape, marking the border between the Bridger Wilderness and Shoshone National Forest. This 1981 edition documents the alpine reaches of the Wind River Range, showing the Wind River Indian Reservation Boundary as it meets the headwaters of the Wind River. Notable for its concentration of granite peaks and glacial features, the area includes the Washakie Glacier and the distinctively named Lizard Head Peak. The network of alpine lakes, from Grave Lake in the north to Lonesome Lake near the dramatic formations of The Towers, illustrates a drainage system feeding both the South Fork Wind River and the Agie River. Topographic detail is intense around named summits like Mount Chauvenet and Cathedral Peak, providing a clear view of the high-country terrain before modern satellite mapping became the standard.
