2015 Map of Simpson Lake

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where a complex network of alpine lakes and glacial drainages forms the headwaters of numerous creeks. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Whiskey Mtn, Windy Mtn, and Square Top Mtn, which overlook a high plateau carved by Wasson Cr and Soapstone Cr. Access to this wilderness is centered on traditional pathways like the Jakeys Fork Trl and Ross Lake Trl, which connect a series of remote water bodies including Alice Lake, Boone Lake, and the namesake Simpson Lake. The spatial distribution of these features highlights the drainage patterns into Jakeys Fork and Torrey Cr, illustrating the hydrological importance of this protected mountain range in the early 21st century.
