About this map

Granite Hot Springs and its nearby Granite Creek Campground anchor this 2012 study of the Teton County backcountry. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent of Granite Creek toward its confluence with the Hoback River at the southern edge of the sheet. Named landmarks like The Open Door and Game Hill suggest a landscape shaped by both geological oddities and long-standing local hunting or navigation traditions.

Remote settlements like Jack Pine are connected by a network of Forest Service roads, including routes 30519 and 30500, which trace the narrow valley floors. The drainage patterns of Swift Creek, W Shoal Creek, and Jack Pine Creek reveal a complex hydrologic network feeding into the larger river systems. From the heights of Deer Ridge to the waters of MacLeod Lake, the map provides a precise look at the wilderness geography before more recent environmental shifts.
