1996 Map of Badger Creek

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape where the waters of the Yellowstone River and Snake River drain toward opposite sides of the continent. Located within the southeastern reaches of Yellowstone National Park, this area is defined by the massive Two Ocean Plateau, a high tableland that separates major drainage basins. This 1990s survey illustrates a wild, roadless interior where movement is dictated by historic paths like the Two Ocean Plateau Trail and the South Boundary Trail. These routes connect remote water features such as Mariposa Lake and Plateau Falls. The map documents the boundary between the park and the Teton National Forest, specifically within the Teton Wilderness, capturing the drainage patterns of numerous mountain streams including Chipmunk Creek, Badger Creek, and Falcon Creek.
