About this map

The Ramshorn and the prominent Ramshorn Peak dominate this landscape within the Shoshone National Forest, illustrating the high-altitude topography of Fremont County in the early 1990s. The map highlights the intersection of protected wilderness and early timber history, specifically at the site of the Fisher Tie Camp near Rainbow Lake. The northern portion of the sheet is occupied by the Washakie Wilderness, where drainages like Burroughs Creek and Poppie Creek carve through the basin.

Evidence of historical land use and seasonal grazing is visible through several named clearings and ranching sites, including Amoretti Park and Deacon Meadows. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, defined by a network of alpine lakes such as Ramshorn Lakes, Virgin Lake, and Carson Lake. To the south, the terrain transitions toward E A Mountain and Battrum Mtn, while the Horse Creek drainage provides a primary corridor through the mountainous territory.
