About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Fremont County quadrangle, where the N Popo Agie River carves through the North Fork Canyon. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes and named high points such as Mt Arter, Bragg Mtn, and the descriptive Suicide Point. Human presence in this wilderness is marked by specialized infrastructure, including the Brown-Jury Ditch and Standish Ditch, which indicate historical water management for ranching or irrigation in the lower basins.

Backcountry access is traced through several named routes and crossings, including the Shoshoni Lake Rd, Cyclone Pass, and the Cony Pass Trl which leads toward Cony Basin. The inclusion of landmarks like Mormon Basin and Mormon Gulch suggests a history of early movement through these mountain corridors, while features like Uncle Tom Spring and Charcoal Spring denote vital water sources for travelers and livestock alike.
