2015 Map of Burnt Mountain

About this map

Teton National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Teton County, where the topography is shaped by a dense network of drainages feeding into the Gros Ventre River. The map reveals a remote wilderness characterized by steep ridges and named gulches, such as Alkali Gulch and Wolf Gulch, which drop toward the winding path of Bacon Creek. Movement through this mountainous terrain is primarily dictated by pack trails and forest roads, including the Purdy Basin Trail and the Bacon Cr (Pack) trail. At the southern end of the sheet, Soda Lake provides a rare stationary water feature amidst the complex hydrology of Sohare Cr, Dog Cr, and Fish Cr. This 2015 study is particularly valuable for its recording of specific landform names like Deer Creek Mtn and Burnt Ridge, reflecting the geographical nomenclature used by forest managers and backcountry travelers.
