About this map

Granite Falls Hot Springs and a nearby Hot Spring anchor the upper reaches of the Granite Creek drainage, where the water flows through the heart of the Teton National Forest. This high-elevation landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and natural landmarks, such as the prominent cliff formation known as The Open Door and the heights of Deer Ridge.

Transport through this part of Teton and Sublette Counties is largely limited to the Granite Highline trail, reflecting the area's role as a protected wilderness. Notable water features like Shoal Falls and the secluded MacLeod Lake suggest a terrain carved by glacial and fluvial action. To the south, labels like Upper Shoal Creek and Game Hill indicate a region shaped by both its hydrological network and its traditional use for seasonal migration or hunting.
