About this map

Grayback Ridge and the Wyoming Range dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Teton and Lincoln counties. This 2017 study details the hydrologic patterns of the Bridger National Forest and Teton National Forest, where water systems like Bailey Creek and Willow Creek are fed by features such as Big Spring. The presence of Bailey Lake and Waterdog Lake indicates the glacial and alpine nature of this wilderness area.

Transport through this backcountry is represented by several remote routes, including Palmer Creek road, Grayback Parallel, and the Wyoming Range National Recreation trail. Notable landmarks like Pow Wow Point, Bull Hollow, and the aptly named Horse Heaven highlight the traditional nomenclature used by early surveyors and land managers to describe the varied topography of this section of the Rocky Mountains.
