About this map

The Teton Basin dominates this 2017 survey, where the valley floor meets the eastern slopes of the Big Hole Mountains. The settlement of Victor sits at the edge of a complex irrigation network, evidenced by the Humble Canal, Spencer Canal, and Banks Canal that distribute water from the Teton River and its tributaries. To the west, the land rises sharply into the Targhee National Forest, a region defined by high-altitude landmarks such as Rocky Peak and the namesake Fourth of July Peak.

Transportation patterns are dictated by the terrain, with Pine Creek Rd climbing toward Pine Creek Pass to navigate the mountains. The map preserves several local place names that speak to the area's geography and early usage, including Rotten Bottom, Pleasant Hollow, and Mine Canyon. This survey provides a clear view of the boundary between Teton and Bonneville counties as it traverses the ridgelines of Blanchard Ridge.
