1980 Map of Triple Peak

About this map

Mount Mc Dougal and the jagged ridgeline of the Wyoming Range dominate this 1980 survey, which captures a landscape defined by its high-altitude drainage basins and resource extraction. The area serves as a rugged intersection of hydrology and early industrial efforts, where the headwaters of North Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries, such as Nylander Creek and Sjhoberg Creek, carve through the Bridger National Forest. Evidence of mining activity is preserved in labels for the Cottonwood Mine and Kleinstick Mine, located near the northern boundary. Transportation through this terrain is limited to historic paths like the Wyoming Range (Pack) Trail, which navigates through Mc Dougal Gap. The southern portion of the map features landmarks like Lander Peak and Soda Lake, illustrating the varied topography between the Lincoln and Sublette county lines.
