About this map

Ferry Peak and Deadhorse Peak tower over the canyon of the Snake River, where the waters are protected as the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and the confluence of several major drainage systems within the Targhee National Forest and Bridger National Forest. The convergence of Greys River with the Snake near the settlement of Alpine Northeast highlights a significant hydrological junction in western Wyoming.

Evidence of Shoshone heritage is present through the naming of Paantsugu Seepaithe and Huu'na Waippe Naokwaide, providing a layer of indigenous history alongside more recent developments like the Greys River Snowmobile Trl. From the high elevations of Bradley Mtn down to Little Jenny Lake, the map traces a network of wilderness routes, including the Wolf Creek Trl and Skull Creek Trl, that traverse deep canyons such as Deadhorse Canyon and Cottonwood Creek.
