About this map

The Shoshone National Forest landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a chain of glacial lakes that follow the path of Torrey Creek. This drainage system connects Torrey Lake, Ring Lake, and Trail Lake, creating a unique hydrologic corridor that supported early irrigation efforts. Evidence of these water management projects remains visible in the Diamond Ditch and Carson Ditch, which redirect water from the lower reaches of the Wind River and its tributaries.

Rising sharply above the water, Whiskey Mtn and Torrey Rim provide a glimpse into the topographical barriers that shaped local transport. An extensive network of footpaths, including the Old Glacier Trl and Whiskey Mountain Trl, suggests a history of backcountry access through Bomber Basin toward the high peaks of Mid Mtn. Smaller water features like Lake Louise and Jakeys Fork Spring dot the higher elevations, illustrating the fine-grained water sources critical for high-country grazing and early wildlife management.
