About this map

Yellowstone National Park dominates the northern landscape of this survey, where the Yellowstone River enters from the east near the junction of Teton and Park Counties. This high-altitude wilderness is characterized by an intricate drainage system including Badger Creek, Chipmunk Creek, and Phlox Creek. The terrain reveals the headwaters of several critical Western waterways, notably the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle within the Teton National Forest.

Evidence of back-country access is limited to the South Boundary Trail: Lynx Creek Trail, which skirts the edge of Lynx Creek and provides a route toward Mariposa Lake and Plateau Falls. This map captures a pristine ecological transition zone where national park protections meet national forest management, preserved in its modern state before the influence of significant infrastructure or development.
