About this map

Pass Peak stands as the central landmark in this mid-century survey of the Wyoming high country, where the boundaries of Teton National Forest and Bridger National Forest converge. The landscape is defined by the prominent East Rim and The Rim, topographic features that dictate the drainage patterns for numerous waterways. Waters flow through systems including Fisherman Creek Lake and the North Fork Fisherman Creek to the west, while the eastern slopes feed into Big Twin Creek and the Twin Creek Basin.

High-altitude trails and springs reveal a backcountry accessible primarily by horse or foot during this era. Multiple routes designated as Pack Trail wind through the forest, connecting remote points like Jack Creek Spring and crossing the divides between Miner Creek and Beaver Creek. The map also identifies Prospect at the base of the rim, indicating localized survey or mineral interest in an otherwise wilderness-dominated sector of Sublette County.
