1996 Map of Open Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Teton Wilderness and the surrounding Teton National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in Park County, defined by a complex drainage system and prominent geological formations. The topography is marked by the broad Trident Plateau and the striking Petrified Ridge, which overlooks the southeastern quadrant. This area serves as a critical watershed, with Mountain Creek flowing through the north and Open Creek cutting through the central portion, fed by tributaries like Siggins Fork and Silvertip Creek. Human passage through this primitive terrain is traced via the Thorofare Trail, which follows the southern watercourses toward Ishawooa Pass. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the region's character as a protected natural corridor, where the only infrastructure consists of established wilderness paths and creek crossings like those at Ishawooa Creek and Falls Creek.
