1968 Map of Squaretop Mountain

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through this high-altitude landscape of the Wind River Range, where the distinctive flat summit of Squaretop Mountain rises above Beaver Park. This late-1960s survey documents a network of trails, including the Highline Trail, which provides the primary access through the Bridger Wilderness and the surrounding Bridger National Forest. The map captures the complex hydrology of the continental divide's western slope, where numerous alpine water bodies like the Lozier Lakes, Hidden Lakes, and No Name Lakes feed into the upper reaches of the New Fork River. High-elevation passes and summits such as Porcupine Pass, Glover Peak, and Doubletop Mountain define the topography, illustrating the transition from glacially-carved canyons like Palmer Canyon to the stark peaks that characterize this part of Wyoming.
