About this map

Mt Leidy dominates the high elevation terrain of the Teton National Forest in this remote section of Teton County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and high-country lakes, including Toppings Lakes and the waters of Leidy Lake. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Gros Ventre Rd and the northern shores of Lower Slide Lake, where the geological profile transitions into the Red Hills and Lavender Hills.

A detailed system of trails and administrative routes facilitates access through this mountainous wilderness. Significant routes such as the Slate Creek Loop and the Slate Cr View Point Trail trace the ridges and valleys between Slate Creek and Aspen Creek. The mapping of small tributaries like Negrohead Fork and Carmichael Fork reveals the complex hydrology that feeds the larger mountain river basins in the region.
