2017 Map of Blue Miner Lake

About this map

Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge converge in the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a significant intersection of protected wilderness and wildlife habitat. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Gros Ventre Range, featuring prominent peaks such as Sheep Mtn and Table Mtn. Drainage systems like the Gros Ventre River and Flat Creek carve through the high country, with Blue Miner Lake positioned as a notable high-altitude water body within the Teton National Forest. Access to this back-country is provided by primitive routes such as Sheep Creek Rd and the Dry Hollow Trail, reflecting the area's use for seasonal grazing and recreation. The proximity of Teton Valley Ranch Rd suggests the historical and ongoing connection between valley ranching operations and the surrounding federal highlands.
