1996 Map of Crystal Peak

About this map

The Gros Ventre Wilderness defines this high-altitude landscape within the Teton National Forest, where steep drainages and jagged summits dominate the terrain. A complex network of watercourses, including West Fork Crystal Creek and Granite Creek, carves through the mountains, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the Teton region in the late 20th century. High-country landmarks such as Packsaddle Pass and The Meadows provide specific points of reference for navigating the vertical relief between Pyramid Peak and Antoinette Peak. The map captures a wilderness area maintained for its primitive character, showing no developed roads or permanent settlements. Instead, it focuses on the natural geographic features like Box Lake and the prominent summit of Crystal Peak on the eastern edge of the survey, serving as a record of the backcountry as it existed during the 1996 field check.
