1965 Map of Clause Peak

About this map

Teton National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where three county lines—Teton, Lincoln, and Sublette—converge in a complex high-altitude drainage system. The terrain is defined by prominent summits like Clause Peak and Ramshorn Peak, which anchor a network of alpine waterways. A single Pack Trail provides the primary means of navigating the steep topography between the drainages of Cliff Creek and Clause Creek. The nomenclature of the area reveals a distinct local character, with water features such as Halfturn Creek and Fullturn Creek suggesting the winding nature of the mountain passes. Researchers will note the density of family-named water bodies like Sandy Marshall Creek and Gibbs Creek, alongside more descriptive landmarks like Burnt Creek and Snag Creek, reflecting the early livestock and trapping history of this Wyoming wilderness.
