2021 Map of Union Peak

About this map

Continental Divide hydrology and high-altitude alpine basins define this 2021 survey of the Wind River Range. This region serves as a triple-point intersection for three major national forests: Shoshone National Forest, Teton National Forest, and Bridger National Forest. The map centers on the high summit of Union Peak and the nearby Union Pass, a historical corridor through the mountains. Dozens of alpine water bodies, including Seven Lakes, Union Lake, and Granite Lake, are scattered across the high plateau and drainage basins like S Fork Warm Spring Cr and S Fork Fish Cr. The map also traces the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl as it winds through the southern portion of the sheet near Gunsight Pass and Pinon Ridge, illustrating the modern recreational use of these remote mountain crests.
