About this map

The Wyoming Range dominates this 1980 survey, where high-elevation landmarks like McDougal Mountain and Lookout Mountain define the divide between the Teton National Forest and Bridger National Forest. This high-country landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including South Fork Hoback River, Silver Mine Creek, and Dead Cow Creek.

A lone mine and a series of primitive transport routes, such as the Pack Trail and various Jeep Trails, suggest a history of resource extraction and seasonal access before the area's modern conservation status. Researchers can trace the precise boundary between Lincoln Co and Sublette Co as it traverses the peaks, crossing through key gaps like Gunsight Pass. The drainage patterns of North Fork Horse Creek and Dry Beaver Creek illustrate the complex watershed geography of the region's eastern slopes.
