About this map

The Wyoming Range forms the spine of this landscape along the border of Lincoln and Sublette counties, dominated by high peaks and an intricate drainage system. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Lookout Mountain and Horse Mountain to the north, while McDougal Mountain anchors the southwestern terrain near Gunsight Pass. This 1980 survey shows a wilderness managed by the Teton National Forest and Bridger-Teton National Forest, where movement is dictated by a network of Pack Trails and a few Jeep Trails rather than modern roads.

Water flows in every direction from these summits, feeding numerous named tributaries. The South Fork Hoback River cuts through the northern reaches, while the southeastern section is drained by the headwaters of South Horse Creek and Dead Cow Creek. The nomenclature of the landscape, including Silver Mine Creek and Shoberg Creek, reflects a history of exploration and resource mapping in this high-altitude interior.
