1989 Map of Hominy Peak

About this map

Hominy Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation wilderness surveyed in the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the intersection of several managed public lands, including the Winegar Hole Wilderness, Jedediah Smith Wilderness, and the Targhee National Forest. In the lower southeastern corner, the boundary of Grand Teton National Park reaches its westernmost extent near Carrot Knoll. Evidence of human activity is found in the scattered Gravel Pits and the isolated Lucky Lady Mine located south of Hominy Creek. A complex network of water bodies, such as Loon Lake, Moose Lake, and Hidden Lake, drains into various branches of Boone Creek and Squirrel Creek. The presence of established pack trails through locations like Squirrel Meadows and Jackass Meadows reflects the historical importance of seasonal access routes in this backcountry environment.
