1996 Map of Mosquito Lake

About this map

The Teton Range dominates this 1990s landscape at the convergence of Teton, Fremont, and Sublette counties. Located within the Teton National Forest and Bridger National Forest, the terrain is defined by high-elevation plateaus and steep drainages like Bacon Ridge and Pinon Ridge. The network of 4wd tracks and trails indicates a backcountry used for resource management and recreation rather than permanent settlement. Evidence of remote activity is visible at the Hunting Camp and the high-altitude Kinky Creek Divide Airstrip. Water resources are abundant, from the central basin of Mosquito Lake to the meandering courses of Buffalo Creek and Wagon Creek. Several Drill Holes scattered across the ridges suggest exploratory mineral or geological surveying during the mid-to-late twentieth century, providing a detailed look at the land's industrial potential within protected forest boundaries.
