About this map

Teton National Forest and the Gros Ventre Wilderness dominate this high-country landscape, where the Gros Ventre River cuts through the southwestern corner of the sheet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and canyons, including Bacon Creek, Fish Creek, and Rat Creek, all draining the slopes of Burnt Mountain and the prominent Burnt Ridge.

Evidence of Forest Service management and seasonal back-country use is visible through dispersed landmarks such as the Bull Creek Patrol Cabin, a Hunting Camp, and a Range Cabin. Water management for high-altitude grazing is indicated by a Ditch and several corrals near Cottonwood BM 7574. This 1990s record captures the region's character as a managed wilderness, where travel is largely restricted to 4wd tracks and trails following the drainages of Alkali Gulch and Water Gulch.
