About this map

The Wyoming Range dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the border between Lincoln Co and Sublette Co traverses a series of prominent peaks and drainage basins within the Bridger National Forest. The geography is defined by sharp topographic reliefs such as Mount Schidler and the aptly named Coal Mine Mountain, suggesting the area's geological complexity and potential for resource extraction.

A network of pack trails serves as the primary infrastructure for navigating the remote terrain between the Red Castles and North Piney Meadows. Water is central to the land's character here, with significant features like North Piney Lake, Mud Lake, and the cascading Menace Falls marking the upper reaches of the North Piney Creek and Roaring Fork systems. Natural transit points like Bare Pass and Box Canyon Pass highlight the historical routes used to move through these mountains before the era of modern road development.
