About this map

Greys River and the Snake River converge within this high-elevation landscape, where the Targhee National Forest and Bridger-Teton National Forest meet. This mid-1990s survey documents a region defined by steep drainages and mountain peaks like Ferry Peak and Bradley Mountain. The river corridors are the primary focal points for activity, featuring the Greys River Bridge Gaging Station and various river monitoring points such as the Gaging Station near Sheep Gulch.

Resource extraction and infrastructure are visible through the presence of a Rock Quarry and Gravel Pit, alongside several four-wheel-drive tracks and the Ranger Jackson road. The map also delineates the boundaries of the Palisades Wilderness Study Area, reflecting the land management priorities of the late twentieth century. Landforms like Squaw Flat and Poison Hollow provide specific geographic markers for those studying the drainage patterns of Squaw Creek and Wolf Creek.
