2015 Map of Poison Meadows

About this map

Estella Brown Grave stands as a solitary historical marker within the high elevations of the Bridger National Forest. This section of the Wyoming mountains is defined by the historical path of the Lander Trail, which cuts through the southern portion of the sheet near LaBarge Meadows. The map illustrates a critical hydrologic and geographic nexus at the Tri Basin Divide, where waters separate toward distinct drainage systems. The landscape is dominated by the massive north-south spine of Commissary Ridge and the Wyoming Range, with Wyoming Peak marking one of the highest points of relief. Numerous watercourses, including the Greys River and La Barge Cr, originate in these alpine meadows, creating a complex network of canyons and ridges that historically challenged western migration along the Hobble Creek Lander Trail.
