About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Targhee National Forest converge on this 1980s topographic record, revealing a landscape defined by high-altitude drainages and protected wilderness. The state line between Idaho and Wyoming bisects the terrain, which is dominated by the intricate headwaters of the Fall River system. Water bodies like Buffalo Lake and the branching reaches of Cascade Creek and Robinson Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of the Bechler region. The map provides a look at the transition between the managed timberlands of the Targhee and the preservation of the park. Notable landmarks such as Snow Creek Butte stand out against a network of small creeks including Partridge Creek, Pack Creek, and Split Creek, providing a detailed view of this remote corner where Fremont and Teton counties meet.
