About this map

Hominy Peak and the high basins of Teton County define this mountain landscape in the late 1980s, where three major wilderness and park boundaries converge. The area is a complex drainage system centered on Boone Creek and its many branches, including the Middle Fork and South Fork, which carve through the Targhee National Forest and the Jedediah Smith Wilderness.

Evidence of human activity is found in the scattered gravel pits and the Lucky Lady Mine south of Hominy Creek. Numerous meadows, such as Gibson Meadows and Jackass Meadows, serve as landmarks among the peaks. The southeastern corner provides a glimpse of the Grand Teton National Park boundary near Carrot Knoll, while the northern reaches are dominated by the Winegar Hole Wilderness and the waters of Loon Lake.
