About this map

Observation Peak and the high ridges of the Rocky Mountains define this section of Teton County, where complex drainage systems feed into the regional river network. The landscape is characterized by prominent summits like Wolf Mountain and Indian Peak, separated by high-altitude crossings such as North Indian Creek Pass and Red Pass. This 2012 survey illustrates a remote wilderness environment dominated by seasonal watercourses, including the various branches of S Fork Fall Cr and N Fork Indian Cr.

A network of canyons and basins, such as Deadhorse Canyon and Lake Basin, reveals the structural geology of the range. The map serves as a detailed record of the area's hydrology, tracing the paths of Dog Cr, Wolf Cr, and Coburn Cr as they navigate the steep slopes. While few man-made structures appear, the nomenclature reflects a history of exploration and surveying in one of Wyoming's most elevation-diverse regions.
