About this map

Three Rivers Ranch and several other valley outposts sit along the winding riverbanks of this Teton County landscape during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by the significant hydrological intersection of Pacific Creek and the Buffalo Fork, which meander through a series of meadows and draws. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Elk Ranch Reservoir, featuring a clearly marked spillway, and the prominent rise of Uhl Hill.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and land use is visible in the network of names like Coal Mine Draw and various Prospects, suggesting exploration into the ridges between the valley floor and the high peaks. The map details a transition between protected areas, marking boundaries for Grand Teton National Park, the Teton National Forest, and the Teton Wilderness, while also showing recreational sites like the Lava Creek Campground.
