1962 Map of Sawtooth Mountain

About this map

Bear River Divide dominates the central landscape of this western Wyoming survey, serving as a prominent geographical boundary between the drainages of the North Fork Bear River and the complex creek systems to the west. The terrain is defined by high ridges and peaks such as Sawtooth Mtn, North Sheep Mtn, and the distinctive Pinnacle. This area straddles the Lincoln and Uinta County line, documenting a high-altitude wilderness used for seasonal transit as evidenced by a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. To the southwest, The Hogback and Red Eye Basin reflect the erosion-carved character of the Session Mountains. While largely undeveloped, a lone Mine and various sheep-related landmarks suggest the 1960s-era land use focused on resource extraction and high-country grazing.
