2012 Map of Mount Leidy

About this map

Mount Leidy stands as the central high point in this 2012 survey of the Teton County backcountry, a landscape defined by the intricate headwaters of the Gros Ventre River. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with numerous forks and creeks such as Carmichael Fork, Negrohead Fork, and Horsetail Cr carving through the terrain. To the south, the topographic character shifts toward the Lavender Hills and the Red Hills, where Gros Ventre Rd provides the primary corridor for movement through the river valley. The presence of Toppings Lakes in the northwest and the smaller Leidy Lake tucked near the mountain summit illustrates the high-altitude hydrology of the region. This map serves as a detailed guide to the complex system of alpine tributaries that feed the larger river basins downstream, capturing the remote geography of the Gros Ventre Range.
