1989 Map of Cave Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Bechler River and Falls River converge within this high-elevation wilderness, marking the intersection of Yellowstone National Park, Targhee National Forest, and the Winegar Hole Wilderness. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology, featuring a high concentration of cataracts such as Iris Falls, Colonnade Falls, Ouzel Falls, and Cave Falls near the park's southern boundary. The broad expanse of Bechler Meadows dominates the western portion of the sheet, providing a stark contrast to the rising slopes of the Pitchstone Plateau to the northeast. Traces of historical backcountry travel are evident in the South Boundary Trail and several pack trails that navigate around Winegar Lake and Fish Lake, documenting the area's role as a protected wilderness at the close of the 1980s.
