About this map

Teton National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where high-elevation drainage systems and pack trails define the topography. The map details a complex network of waterways feeding into South Fork Spread Creek, including Nation Creek, Sohare Creek, and Leidy Creek. Evidence of resource exploration is scattered across the northwest quadrant, marked by several Wells, a Drill Hole, and a Flowing Well, indicating early attempts to tap the geology of the region.

Remote summits like Grouse Mountain and Green Mountain are connected by established routes such as the South Fork Trail and the more rugged Dallas Jeep Trail. For researchers and historians, the presence of Leidy Lake, Hidden Lake, and a small named area identified only as Prospect suggests a wilderness in the mid-20th century that was being mapped for its recreational potential and mineral possibilities.
