1953 Map of Sweetwater Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Continental Divide serpentines through the high alpine country of the Wind River Range on this 1953 field check of the Wyoming wilderness. This survey documents the headwaters of several major Western drainages, including the Sweetwater River, which flows south from Sweetwater Gap, and the Popo Agie River, which branches into its Middle Fork through glacial valleys. The landscape is defined by vast granite features such as Wind River Peak and Mt Nystrom, interspersed with high-elevation meadows like Johnson Meadow and Upper Hudson Meadow. The hydrology of the region is mapped in great detail, showing the intricate networks of the Deep Creek Lakes, Ice Lakes, and Stough Creek Lakes. Established routes like the Pinto Park Trail and Middle Fork Trail provide the only human imprint across the boundaries of the Shoshone National Forest and Bridger National Forest.
