2017 Map of Raid Lake

About this map

Bridger National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the Wind River Range, characterized by a dense network of alpine lakes and glacial drainage systems. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the northeastern quadrant, passing near Raid Lake and the South Fork Lake. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, from the depths of Silver Creek Canyon in the southwest to the distinctive peak of Mitchells Nipple in the east. Numerous water bodies such as Lightning Lakes, Scab Lake, and Monroe Lake suggest a complex hydrology shaped by the surrounding peaks. Historical transport routes like the Scab Creek and Sylvan Lake trails provide access to these remote reaches, while Willow Basin offers a relatively level area amidst the high-altitude topography of Sublette County.
