About this map

Flagg Ranch serves as a central landmark in this 1950s survey where the Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park boundaries meet. The geography is dominated by the confluence of the Lewis River and the Snake River, which carves through the Snake River Canyon as it flows south toward Jackson Lake. Geologic activity is visible through features like the Phantom Fumarole on the Pitchstone Plateau and various Hot Springs clustered near the riverbanks.

High-altitude topography defines the eastern half of the sheet, from the Red Mountains down through Huckleberry Ridge to Wildcat Peak. This mid-century record documents a network of primitive access points, including the South Entrance, the Snake River Ranger Sta, and the Snake River Lookout Sta. The landscape is etched with backcountry paths like the South Boundary Trail and Harebell Trail, connecting remote water bodies such as Sheridan Lake and Basin Creek Lake.
