About this map

Teton Wilderness and the Teton National Forest dominate this landscape, defined by high-elevation ridges and an intricate drainage network. The topography is anchored by the prominent Bobcat Ridge and Big Game Ridge, which serve as significant water divides for the surrounding creek systems. High points such as Pinyon Peak provide strategic vantage points over a terrain largely untouched by modern development, preserved through its wilderness designation.

Water flows through this region via several major tributaries including Pilgrim Creek, Whetstone Creek, and Wolverine Creek. The movement across this remote backcountry is facilitated by traditional routes like the Middle Pack Trail and other unnamed pack trails, reflecting a landscape that remained accessible primarily by foot or horseback at the end of the 1980s. This survey emphasizes the primitive character of the Teton backcountry, highlighting the complex relationship between the steep ridges and the valleys of Gravel Creek and Coulter Creek.
