1967 Map of Mount Thompson

About this map

Historic migration routes define the high country of the Bridger National Forest along the border of Lincoln and Sublette counties. The Lander Cutoff and the Emigrant Trail trace the northern drainage of South Piney Creek, marking a primary corridor for westward travel through the Wyoming range. This 1967 survey captures the administrative and logistical landscape of the forest, including the Snider Basin Guard Sta and the Scaler Guard Sta. High ridges such as Packsaddle Ridge and Absaroka Ridge separate the headwaters of La Barge Creek from the Fontenelle Lakes basin. The presence of Prospects in the northern canyons near Spring Creek suggests the era's ongoing mineral exploration within the rugged Snider Basin.
