About this map

Gravel Peak stands as a prominent high point in this 1980s survey of the high Teton backcountry. The landscape is defined by the protected expanses of the Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness, where human impact is largely restricted to remote infrastructure like the Fox Park Patrol Cabin. An intricate network of horse and hiking routes, including the South Boundary Trail (Pack) and the Game Creek Cutoff Trail (Pack), provides the only access through this roadless terrain.

Water serves as the primary sculptor of the region, with the Snake River flowing through the northeast corner and the Pacific Creek drainage dominating the south. High-elevation water bodies like Emerald Lake and Gravel Lake are situated among ridges such as Big Game Ridge. The presence of features like Two Ocean Creek highlights the complex hydrology of the Continental Divide area, where small streams dictate the movement of travelers and wildlife alike.
