1941 Map of Mt Bonneville

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the heart of the Wind River Range in this 1930s survey, marking a complex landscape of glacial lakes and high alpine peaks. Surveyed by T. F. Murphy and S. C. Kain, the topography centers on Mt Bonneville and Mt Geikie, where the drainage separates toward the North Fork Wind River and the various forks of the Silver Creek system. Early backcountry infrastructure is visible through remote outposts like the South Fork Guard Sta and the John Day Cabin, alongside a network of high-altitude routes including the High Line Trail and Whisky Trail. The map documents a pristine era for the Washakie National Forest, showing numerous named water bodies such as Lake Solitude and Pyramid Lake before modern recreational expansion.
