1953 Map of Sweetwater Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Continental Divide winds through the high-elevation terrain of the Wind River Range, marking the boundary between the Shoshone National Forest and the Bridger National Forest. This mid-century survey captures a complex alpine environment defined by high-altitude meadows and glacier-fed waters. Prominent summits like Wind River Peak and Mt Nystrom overlook a network of basins and gaps, including the eponymous Sweetwater Gap. The map documents early-1950s trail systems, such as the Pinto Park Trail and Shoshone Trail, which provided access to remote locations like Deep Creek Lakes and Stough Creek Lakes. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing the headwaters of the Middle Fork Popo Agie River and the Sweetwater River, which emerge from these high basins before descending from the peaks.
