1968 Map of Union Peak

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape where Sublette and Fremont counties meet, defining a region of glacial lakes and steep alpine ridges. The map documents a convergence of three major protected areas: Shoshone National Forest, Teton National Forest, and the Bridger Wilderness. A notable point of geographical interest is Three Waters Mountain, reflecting the area's role as a primary western watershed. Human activity is evidenced by the Union Pass Cow Camp and the Union Pass Road, alongside remote trail systems like the Highline Trail and Jakeys Fork Trail. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Union Peak and Pinon Ridge, while numerous water bodies including Horseshoe Lake, Moon Lake, and Deep Lake fill the basins between these peaks.
