2021 Map of Crooked Creek

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Teton National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Snake River. The protected status of the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River preserves a complex network of tributaries, including Crooked Cr, Passage Cr, and Chipmunk Cr. Without any permanent settlements or roads, the geography is articulated through long-distance paths such as the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl and the Two Ocean Plateau Trl. High ridges like Chicken Ridge and Big Game Ridge separate the various drainage basins. This map illustrates the intersection of federal land management and major natural watersheds near Barlow Peak, where the topography dictates travel routes through the South Boundary Trail system.
