1969 Map of Wiggins Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this late-1960s survey of Fremont County, where high-elevation summits and steep drainage systems define the landscape within the Shoshone National Forest. High points like Wiggins Peak and Mount Kent anchor a terrain carved by deep incisions such as Brown Rock Canyon and Black Canyon. The map reveals a wild, roadless interior where movement is dictated by the flow of water and established paths, including the Wiggins Fork Trail and the Emerald Creek Trail. The prominence of named water bodies like Caldwell Creek, Blue Creek, and the Wiggins Fork reflects the importance of these riparian corridors for navigation through the mountainous forest. For the researcher, this sheet preserves the primitive state of the region's wilderness, marking essential crossings like Bear Creek Pass and various segments of unnamed Pack Trail routes used before more modern infrastructure reached this part of Wyoming.
