About this map

Hoback Peak serves as the central high point of this high-elevation terrain, marking the boundary between the Bridger National Forest and Teton National Forest. This 2015 survey reveals a complex drainage network where the Hoback River and Little Greys River find their headwaters among distinct alpine basins. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by significant relief, featuring the steep Upper Hoback Canyon and the notable Cliff Creek Falls.

Historically used for livestock grazing and recreation, the area includes named open spaces like Horse Heaven Meadows and Roosevelt Meadows. Long-distance transit is represented by the Wy Range Nat Rec Trail and the Highline trail system, which navigate through natural passes such as Cliff Creek Pass. The presence of labels like Bare Hole and Hole in the Wall Cy points to the specific local nomenclature used by generations of backcountry travelers in this part of Lincoln and Sublette counties.
