About this map

Wind River and the high peaks of the Wind River Range define this corner of Wyoming as it appeared in the early 1990s. The landscape transitions from the river valley into the protected confines of the Shoshone National Forest and the Fitzpatrick Wilderness. A distinctive chain of lakes—Torrey Lake, Ring Lake, and Trail Lake—occupies the valley floor between the towering elevations of Whiskey Mountain and Torrey Rim.

Resource management and recreational infrastructure are evident through features like the State Fish Hatchery on Jakeys Fork and several marked Ranches. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness defined by water and rock, from the remote Lake Louise and Bomber Falls to the steep slopes of Arrow Mountain. Surveyors also noted industrial and communications markers, including a Radio Tower on the western ridge and numerous 4wd tracks that provide limited access to the backcountry basins.
