1980 Map of Triple Peak

About this map

Mount Mc Dougal and the jagged heights of the Wyoming Range anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Bridger National Forest. The map documents a rugged montane environment where traditional industry meets backcountry recreation during the late 1970s. Historical extraction is evident at the Cottonwood Mine and Kleinstick Mine, while the central Mc Dougal Gap provides a natural passage through the terrain. A complex drainage system feeds the region, with North Cottonwood Creek and South Cottonwood Creek carving deep basins. High-country landmarks such as Triple Peak and Lander Peak overlook a network of pack routes, including the prominent Wyoming Range Trail. Smaller features like Soda Lake and Foster Meadows suggest pockets of riparian diversity amidst the steep slopes, while a solitary Drill Hole near Cottonwood Creek points to mineral or geological exploration efforts in this Sublette County wilderness.
