2017 Map of Joy Peak

About this map

Joy Peak and Soda Mtn anchor this high-altitude landscape within Teton National Forest during the mid-2010s. The topography is defined by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which traverses the high ridges between drainage basins. High-country hydrology is central to the area, evidenced by the presence of North Buffalo Fork Springs and a series of alpine water bodies including Enos Lake, Divide Lake, and Toppan Lake. The map reveals a remote network of backcountry routes such as the Divide Lake Trail and the Soda Fork Cutoff that connect the North Fork Meadows with the Soda Fork Meadows. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage systems of the North Buffalo Fork and Soda Fork rivers, providing a detailed look at the wilderness geography before more modern forest management transitions.
