About this map

The Continental Divide forms a dramatic central spine through this high-elevation landscape, marking the boundary between Bridger National Forest and Shoshone National Forest. This section of the Wind River Range is dominated by prominent summits including Mt Bonneville, Mt Geikie, and Mt Hooker, the latter of which supports the Hooker Glacier. The intricate drainage patterns on either side of the divide feed numerous alpine water bodies like Baptiste Lake and Pyramid Lake, eventually flowing into systems such as the East Fork River.

A network of high-altitude paths facilitates travel through this vertical environment, with the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl and the Highline Trl providing primary access. Named passes like Halls Pass and Washakie Pass indicate the traditional routes used to navigate the crest. The map also records family-named landmarks and remote locations such as Little Dad's Lake and Elizabeth Lake, serving as a record of modern backcountry nomenclature and 21st-century wilderness management.
