About this map

Ramshorn Peak and Clause Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape in Teton County, where complex drainage patterns define the geography. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Cliff Creek and its many tributaries such as Gibbs Creek, Burnt Creek, and Sandy Marshall Creek. This drainage system illustrates the erosion-driven topography typical of the region, where numerous unnamed peaks and ridges are dissected by seasonal and permanent streams.

Human presence is marked primarily by Cliff Creek Road, which follows the contours of the valley floor in the east. The map reveals how local transit remains tied to the natural hydrology, with Bondurant Creek and Snag Creek converging in the southeastern corner. This survey is a record of the wilderness character of the Wyoming mountains as they were managed and mapped at the start of the twenty-first century.
