1953 Map of Louis Lake

About this map

Louis Lake serves as a focal point for this mountain landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, as mapped during the early 1950s. The area's recreational and administrative character is evident through the presence of the Louis Lake Resort, a Louis Lake Campground, and a Guard Station. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the Little Popo Agie River, Rock Creek, and Willow Creek, which carve through the high-elevation topography near Limestone Mountain and Iron Mtn. Land use patterns are marked by clear transportation routes such as the Louis Lake Trail and the Shoshone Stock Driveway, indicating a landscape managed for both seasonal transit and forest protection. Extensive meadows like Grannier Meadow provide a contrast to the wooded slopes and basins that characterize this portion of Fremont County.
