1968 Map of Simpson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where a complex network of pack trails served as the primary infrastructure in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a high alpine basin characterized by significant glacial features, with Simpson Lake and Ross Lake situated at the feet of massive landmarks like Windy Mountain and Shale Mountain. The drainage patterns of Jakeys Fork and Whiskey Creek dictate the movement of water and travelers through the area, with numerous smaller bodies of water such as Soapstone Lake, Dead Horse Lake, and Snowbank Lake scattered throughout the basins. For researchers, the presence of a Prospect near Lime Kiln Gulch and the named Salt Barrels Park offer clues to historical land use and early resource exploration in this section of the Wind River Range.
