1996 Map of Darwin Peak

About this map

Darwin Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Teton National Forest meets the Gros Ventre Wilderness in the mid-1990s. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic summits and high-country basins, including Black Peak and the Grizzly Basin, which feed the headwaters of the Gros Ventre River. The map reveals a wild geography sparsely marked by human activity, showing only seasonal outposts like Hunting Camp and Cowboy Camp along the drainages of Jagg Creek and Bear Cabin Creek. To the west, the cluster of The Six Lakes and the tucked-away Shoal Lake represent the characteristic alpine water features of this protected wilderness. This survey also records the administrative boundary between Teton and Sublette counties as it crosses the high southern ridges near Steamboat Peak.
