1963 Map of Ferry Peak

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through the Grand Canyon of the Snake, serving as the central geographic feature of this high-altitude landscape. During the early 1960s, this area at the intersection of the Targhee National Forest and Bridger National Forest was defined by its drainage systems and trail networks. The confluence of the Greys River and the Snake is a focal point for backcountry access, supported by several established recreation sites like the Bridge Campground and Forks Campground. The terrain is dominated by prominent summits including Ferry Peak, Deadhorse Peak, and Bradley Mountain. Notable water features such as Little Jenny Lake and the winding Wolf Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of the Wyoming-Lincoln county line before more modern infrastructure altered the more remote reaches of these national forests.
