1996 Map of Grizzly Lake

About this map

Red Rock Ranch sits along the Crystal Creek drainage, serving as a rare point of human settlement in this high-altitude landscape. This 1990s-era topography reveals a transition between the Teton National Forest and the protected lands of the Gros Ventre Wilderness, where the Gros Ventre River carves through the Red Hills. The map provides specific detail on the hydraulic patterns of the region, including several 4wd tracks and the Ditch near the river bend. Geologic and topographic features like Grizzly Lake, Hidden Basin, and Haystack peaks dominate the southern and eastern quadrants. The mapping reflects a late 20th-century view of Wyoming's backcountry, capturing the intricate drainage systems of Slate Creek and Redmond Creek before modern environmental shifts or expanded recreational access changed the character of these remote reaches.
