About this map

Lander Trail passes through the southern portion of this Lincoln County landscape, marking a historic nineteenth-century wagon road route used by emigrants. Situated within the Bridger National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic high-altitude features like Mt Wagner and the sprawling Commissary Ridge. The hydrology is complex, with the Salt River flowing through the valleys and high-elevation bodies of water including Wagner Lake and Slide Lake tucked into the canyons.

Evidence of historical land use appears at the CCC Camp site near the junction of Smiths Fork Rd, suggesting a legacy of conservation and infrastructure projects in the backcountry. Significant geological and topographic formations such as Cedar Creek Ridge and the deep Porcupine-Poker Hollow illustrate the varied drainage patterns and structural ridges that characterize this part of the Wyoming range.
