2017 Map of Louis Lake

About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses the high country of Fremont County, where the southern Wind River Range transitions into high basins and meadows. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Little Popo Agie River and its numerous tributaries, including Louis Creek and Pass Creek. Central to this area is Louis Lake, a significant water body situated near the Louis Lake Road, which provides access to the higher elevations of Limestone Mountain. Evidence of early travel and resource management is visible in the alignment of the Indian Trail and the presence of the Upper Rock Creek Reservoir. Notable landmarks like Sherwood Point and Grannier Meadow indicate a terrain of varied alpine environments and open basins, such as Maxon Basin, reflecting the area's role as a protected wilderness and watershed.
