2015 Map of Porcupine Creek

About this map

The Lander Trail and the Oregon Trail Lander Cutoff cross this high-elevation terrain, marking the historic path of westward migration through what is now the Bridger National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Smiths Fork and the N Fork Smiths Fork, which carve through deep canyons like Water Canyon. In the southeastern portion of the map, the elevation rises toward Lake Mountain, overlooking the alpine waters of Lake Alice and Crystal Lake. This area includes significant topographical landmarks such as Porcupine Ridge and Buckskin Knoll, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Porcupine Creek and its many tributaries. The presence of the Coppermine Labarge road suggests the long-standing intersection of natural resources and transportation in this part of Lincoln County.
