1963 Map of Observation Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Snake River Range peaks and high-altitude drainage systems dominate this mid-century survey of the Wyoming wilderness. The landscape is defined by the boundary between Targhee National Forest and Teton National Forest, where steep ridgelines separate watersheds such as Big Elk Creek and Fall Creek. This period of forest management is characterized by a primitive transportation network, consisting almost entirely of a Pack Trail system and the occasional Jeep Trail, facilitating access to remote landmarks like Observation Peak and Indian Peak. The absence of developed roads highlights the isolation of high-country features such as Lake Basin and Big Basin. Significant topographical points like North Indian Creek Pass and Red Pass mark the few established routes through the serrated terrain of the Teton and Lincoln County border.
