2017 Map of Torrey Lake

About this map

The Shoshone National Forest landscape within Fremont County is defined by a dramatic chain of glacial lakes and high alpine basins. Torrey Lake, Ring Lake, and Trail Lake sit at the base of the sheer Torrey Rim, while higher elevations conceal Lake Louise and the remote Hidden Lake. The terrain is shaped by historical water management and access, evidenced by the Diamond Ditch and Carson Ditch near the Wind River, and a network of high-altitude paths like the Glacier Trail and Old Glacier Trail. Prominent peaks including Whiskey Mtn, Arrow Mtn, and Mid Mtn tower over Whiskey Basin, where Whiskey Cr and Jakeys Fork drain the wilderness. This 2017 survey details the complex intersection of federal forest land and traditional water rights in a region of extreme vertical relief.
