1996 Map of Bobcat Ridge

About this map

Teton National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the Teton Wilderness boundary marks a territory dedicated to natural preservation. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Pinyon Peak and the steep elevation of Wildcat Peak, which rises above the convergence of several mountain streams. The hydrology of the area is complex, with Wolverine Creek, Coulter Creek, and Pilgrim Creek carving through the ridgelines of Bobcat Ridge and Big Game Ridge. Movement through this backcountry during the 1990s relied heavily on established paths like the Coulter-Wolverine Cutoff Trail and the Coulter-Whetstone Trail. These routes provided the primary access for Forest Service management and recreational trekking through the dense network of drainage basins like East Whetstone Creek and Gravel Creek.
