About this map

Grand Teton National Park and the Targhee National Forest meet along this high-elevation divide, where the Teton Range drops into steep drainage basins. The landscape is defined by massive peaks including Mt Bannon, Mt Jedediah-Smith, and Fossil Mtn. The hydrology of the area is complex, with water moving through Darby Canyon and Eddington Canyon, eventually feeding into N Fork Darby Cr and S Fork Teton Cr.

A network of high-altitude trails, such as the Teton Crest South Trl and Death Canyon Shelf Trl, provides access to remote features like Pass Lake and the Death Canyon Shelf. These paths follow the natural contours of the land, connecting landmarks such as Fox Creek Pass and Spearhead Peak. The presence of Forget-me-not Lakes and Indian Lake near the southern boundary suggests a landscape of small, glacial-fed basins high above the canyon floors.
