2021 Map of Hominy Peak

About this map

Targhee National Forest and the northwestern edge of Grand Teton National Park define this high-altitude landscape. The map reveals an intricate network of drainages feeding into larger water bodies like Loon Lake and Fish Lake, which are connected by the various branches of Boone Creek. The naming conventions found throughout the area, including Jackass Meadows and Coyote Meadows, reflect the historical livestock and wildlife patterns of this mountain region. The transportation network is dominated by a series of primitive routes and trails, such as the Jackass Loop and the Hominy Peak Trail, which provide access to Hominy Peak and the surrounding Conant Basin. This map documents the wild character of Teton County, where human presence is largely limited to the Ashton-Flagg Ranch road and established forest service paths.
