About this map

Union Peak and the high ridges of the Wind River Range dominate this 2012 survey of the Wyoming wilderness. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and glacial lakes, with Three Waters Mountain marking a significant hydrologic divide where waters separate toward different major basins. A high-altitude waypoint at Union Pass Cow Camp and the winding Lake of the Woods Rd provide the few markers of human passage in a region otherwise characterized by alpine terrain and remote water bodies.

Water is the primary feature of this quadrangle, shown through an extensive network including Union Lake, Seven Lakes, and the headwaters of Jakeys Fork. Named features like Gunsight Pass and Abosko Lake offer precise locations for backcountry navigation. The map captures the intricate relationship between high peaks and the streams that feed them, such as Little Warm Spring Cr and the S Fork Fish Cr.
