2012 Map of Lewis Falls

About this map

Shoshone Lake and Lewis Lake anchor this high-elevation landscape in Teton County, documenting the hydrology and road systems as they existed in the early twenty-first century. The map centers on the drainage patterns of Moose Cr and the Lewis River, which connects the two large water bodies before passing Lewis Falls. The southeastern corner of the sheet shows a critical transportation corridor where Highway 89 191 and 287 follow the river valley, providing a detailed record of the access routes through this wilderness area. Tributaries such as Summit Cr, Aster Cr, and Polecat Cr branch into the surrounding terrain, illustrating the intricate watershed that defines this portion of the northern Rockies. This survey captures a specific moment in the management of these federal lands, recording the precise placement of established roadways relative to the ancient watercourses of the Teton region.
