About this map

Teton National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River begin their descent. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Joy Peak and Soda Mtn, while the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl traverses the ridges. This 2021 survey details a complex network of alpine hydrology, including North Fork Meadows and Soda Fork Meadows, which provide rare level ground amidst the steep slopes of the Teton Range.

Backcountry access is documented through several historic routes like the North Buffalo Fork Trl and Soda Fork Cutoff Trl. Significant water bodies such as Enos Lake, Divide Lake, and Toppan Lake are mapped in detail, alongside the geologic features of Soda Springs and Terrace Mtn. The map captures a preserved wilderness before modern development, focusing on the preservation of the natural drainage patterns and trail systems.
