1996 Map of Observation Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Observation Peak and Indian Peak anchor this high-altitude section of the Snake River Range during the late 1990s. The landscape is defined by its administrative complexity, where the Targhee National Forest and Teton National Forest meet at the border of Teton and Lincoln Counties. This map documents the Palisades Wilderness Study Area, a region of protected backcountry characterized by steep drainage systems like Big Elk Creek and Coburn Creek. For researchers of western land management, the sheet illustrates the exact boundaries of the Jackson District and Palisades Ranger District, showing how these federal lands were partitioned and administered. High-mountain crossings such as North Indian Creek Pass and Red Pass provide the only established routes through the complex topography of Lake Basin and Deadhorse Canyon.
