About this map

Bridger National Forest dominates this section of Wyoming, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Green River basin. High points such as Prospect Peak and the nearby Prospect Mountain anchor the western portion of the sheet, while the eastern edge is marked by Jewett Pinnacle. This landscape is carved by numerous waterways, including the southern and northern forks of several major creeks.

Evidence of historical passage through the region appears in the form of the Old Indian trail, which traverses the rugged slopes alongside more modern routes like Daniel Merna Rd. Significant drainages such as S Beaver Cr, N Horse Cr, and South Horse Creek dictate the topography, while named features like Horse Pasture Draw and Beaver Ridge indicate the localized use of the land for ranching and wildlife management within the forest boundaries.
