2015 Map of Louis Lake

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where the southern Wind River Range transitions into alpine basins and meadows. The hydrography of the region is centered on Louis Lake and the Little Popo Agie River, with a complex network of tributaries including Rock Cr, Little Rock Cr, and Pass Cr draining the eastern slopes. Evidence of land use and access is carved into the terrain via Louis Lake Rd and the historic Indian Trl, while landmarks like Limestone Mtn and Sherwood Point offer clear orientation points for high-country navigation. The presence of the Upper Rock Cr Reservoir and named clearings such as Grannier Meadow suggest a long-standing history of water management and seasonal grazing. This 2015 update from the U.S. Geological Survey details the remote drainage systems of Slate Cr and Willow Cr alongside the prominent geological formation of Big Hermit Gulch.
