2017 Map of Sweetwater Gap

About this map

The Continental Divide bisects this high-elevation landscape, marking the hydrological split between the Sweetwater River and the Middle Popo Agie River. Within the Shoshone National Forest and Bridger National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic peaks such as Wind River Peak and Mt Nystrom, alongside the prominent Sweetwater Gap. This 2017 survey details a remote wilderness network of trails and alpine lakes, including the Stough Creek Trail and the Deep Creek Cutoff. The map illustrates a concentration of high-country water bodies like Tayo Lake, Ice Lakes, and Deep Cr Lakes, which sit below granite features like Chimney Rock and the massive Roaring Fork Mtn. This area serves as a critical junction for the Wind River Range, where the Sublette and Fremont county lines meet amidst meadows like Bills Park and Johnson Meadow.
