About this map

Rocky Mountain and the Sawtooth Range dominate this high-elevation landscape within Teton County, where the topography is defined by sharp peaks and deep drainages. In 2011, this area remains centered on wilderness recreation and water management, with the South Fork Teton River and its numerous tributaries like Headquarters Creek and Miners Fork carving through the terrain. Evidence of seasonal use and forest monitoring is found at the Beartop Lookout and the Scenic Waterfalls Campground.

The hydrography of the region is anchored by Our Lake, situated near Headquarters Creek Pass. Connectivity through this difficult terrain is limited to primitive forest roads and high passes such as Route Creek Pass, reflecting a landscape preserved for its natural state. Local points of interest for visitors include Mill Falls and the South Fork Teton Trailhead, which serves as a gateway to the peaks of Old Baldy and the surrounding backcountry.
