1981 Map of Raid Lake

About this map

The Bridger Wilderness within the Bridger National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape, characterized by a complex network of alpine lakes and glacial drainage. Major water bodies like Raid Lake, Divide Lake, and Sandpoint Lake are linked by the Middle Fork Boulder Creek and various forks of Silver Fork. The map documents a primitive transportation network essential for back-country access, featuring the High Line Trail and the Lowline Trail, which traverse the area near prominent landmarks such as Mitchells Nipple and the Knob Lakes. This 1981 data reflects the region's preservation as a roadless area, where the terrain transitions from the Willow Basin up into the granite basins of the Wind River Range. The absence of modern roads highlights the area's importance for wilderness recreation and natural resource protection during the late twentieth century.
