About this map

Mt Leidy dominates this high-country landscape within the Teton National Forest, where steep drainages and mountain lakes define the topography of Teton County. The southern portion of the map is marked by the distinct Lavender Hills and Red Hills, situated near the eastern edge of Lower Slide Lake. This area reflects a complex network of hydrological features, including the Carmichael Fork and Negrohead Fork, which feed into major drainages like Slate Creek.

A legacy of backcountry access is visible through the primitive transportation network, featuring the Gros Ventre Rd and various specialized routes such as the Pack Trl and the Horsetail-Slate Connector. These trails, including the Slate Cr View Point Trail, suggest a landscape utilized for forest management and high-altitude recreation. The map meticulously documents various water sources from Toppings Lakes to Leidy Lake, essential for understanding the watershed patterns of this wilderness region.
