1965 Map of Angle Mountain

About this map

Togwotee Lodge serves as a primary human outpost in this high-altitude landscape where the Teton National Forest meets the protected boundary of the Teton Wilderness. The map reveals a complex drainage system where the North Buffalo Fork and South Buffalo Fork converge into the Buffalo Fork, a pattern that defines the movement of water and travelers through the region. Historical movement is etched into the terrain through a network of trails, including the Two Ocean-North Buffalo Trail and the high-elevation crossing at Bear Cub Pass. In the southern reaches, the wide expanse of Blackrock Meadows sits below the prominent summit of Angle Mountain, while smaller waterways like North Fork Spread Creek and Flagstaff Creek carve through the heavily forested slopes. A small Gravel Pit near Blackrock Creek provides a rare trace of industrial utility within this largely undeveloped mountain environment.
