About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape, separating the headwaters of several major drainages in the mid-1950s. To the north, the Teton National Forest encompasses the South Fork Buffalo Fork and a cluster of alpine waters including Angle Lakes, Mackinaw Lake, and Golden Lake. The southern half of the map transition into the Shoshone National Forest, dominated by the namesake Dundee Meadows and the massive Pinnacle Buttes.

High-country travel is centered on the Pack Trail networks and the historic Du Noir Trail, which crosses near Du Noir Butte. This area remains largely defined by its natural topography rather than permanent settlement, with notable landmarks like Jules Bowl and Bonneville Pass serving as critical waypoints. The presence of numerous small lakes, such as Murray Lake and Clendenning Lake, indicates a glaciated terrain where seasonal water sources dictate the routes of early forest travel.
