About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of the Teton National Forest, where the headwaters of the Yellowstone River begin their journey north. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the N Fork Yellowstone River and S Fork Yellowstone River, which converge amidst high-altitude terrain. A network of primitive pathways, such as the Yellowstone Trails and the Marston Pass Trail, provide the primary means of movement through this wilderness.

Evidence of early exploration and namesakes is found at Pendergraft Meadow and Pendergraft Peak in the southern sector. Natural landmarks like Lake Fork Falls and the secluded Ferry Lake are key points of interest for those tracing the geography of the Wyoming backcountry. The map also delineates the high-country boundary between Park Co and Fremont Co, illustrating how political lines were drawn across the most formidable ridges of the Rockies.
