1979 Map of Bates

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Teton River meanders through the heart of this valley, defining the landscape of the Teton Basin with its intricate network of sloughs and bends. To the west, the terrain rises into the timbered slopes of the Targhee National Forest, where features like Lizard Lake and Mahogany Ridge are accessible only by a system of pack and jeep trails. This 1970s survey captures a rural landscape dominated by small agricultural settlements and natural drainages. Genealogists will find notable burial sites at the Bates Cem and Cedron Cem, serving the communities of Bates, Cedron, and Boquet. The river itself is a focal point of infrastructure, with crossings at Buxton Bridge, Bates Bridge, and White Bridge, alongside named landmarks like Rainbow Bend and Big Bend. These features reflect a period of quiet rural life before the region saw significant modern development.
