1968 Map of Union Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Union Peak stands as a central landmark in this 1968 study of the high-altitude frontier where the Continental Divide traverses the Wind River Range. The map details a complex hydrologic landscape where the headwaters of the South Fork Warm Spring Creek and South Fork Fish Creek begin their descent from the alpine heights. A significant cultural and historical marker is Union Pass, a vital corridor once used by early explorers and trappers, accompanied by the Union Pass Cow Camp and the Union Pass Road. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including Union Lake, Deep Lake, and Granite Lake, indicating a landscape shaped by ice and elevation. The boundary between the Shoshone National Forest, Teton National Forest, and Bridger National Forest meets here, marking a point of intersection for regional wilderness management and high-country grazing.
