About this map

Paradise Basin sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where a complex network of alpine water bodies defines the geography. Numerous lakes, including Lydle Lake, Paradise Lakes, and Upper Paradise Lake, are fed by the drainages of Paradise Cr and Sheep Cr. The area is characterized by significant topographic relief, with prominent landmarks such as Wittombona Peak and Mt Windy rising above the basin floor.

Southward, the terrain transitions toward Windy Ridge and Lookout Mtn, while a collection of smaller lakes like Tigee Lake and Enos Lake occupy the lower-lying meadows near Wilson Cr. The drainage patterns, particularly along Bull Lake Cr in the north and Saint Lawrence Cr in the east, illustrate the intricate hydrologic system that supports this wilderness environment. This map preserves the contemporary naming of these peaks and waterways, serving as a detailed reference for the remote interior of the Wind River Range.
