2012 Map of Bailey Lake

About this map

Grayback Ridge anchors this high-elevation landscape in the Bridger-Teton National Forest region, where the drainage systems of Willow Cr and Bailey Cr define the rugged topography. The map illustrates a primarily undeveloped wilderness, punctuated by few human imprints such as Rimrock Ranch near the northern boundary and the primitive reach of Bryan Flat Rd. Hydrographic features are central to the terrain, from the eponymous Bailey Lake to the secluded Waterdog Lake at the southern edge. The presence of Phosphate Cr suggests the area's geological underpinnings, while descriptive landmarks like Pow Wow Point and Lick Cr reflect the naming conventions of early settlers and forest users. The network of creeks, including Mumford Cr and Shepard Cr, illustrates a complex watershed that has shaped the accessibility of these mountain valleys.
