About this map

Darwin Peak dominates the high-elevation terrain of this 2015 survey, situated within the Teton National Forest along the border of Teton and Sublette Counties. The landscape is defined by a complex network of alpine water systems, including the Gros Ventre River and its upper reaches, which flow through steep canyons marked by Upper Falls. This area serves as a primary drainage basin for several prominent creeks such as Jagg Creek, Big Cow Creek, and Soda Creek.

Highland basins and plateaus are home to numerous isolated water bodies, most notably Shoal Lake, Chateau Lake, and the cluster known as Six Lakes. The presence of the Upper Falls Cut-Off trail suggests the traditional movement patterns through this mountainous region. Prominent landforms like Steamboat Peak, Black Peak, and Sportsman Ridge provide clear landmarks for understanding the hydrology of Grizzly Basin and the surrounding wilderness.
