2017 Map of Our Lake

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the Sawtooth Range forms a dramatic backdrop for a network of headwater streams and mountain passes. The drainage patterns are defined by the Middle Fork Teton River and the S Fork Teton River, which flow through steep-walled canyons and narrow valleys like Green Gulch. Named peaks and ridges, including Old Baldy, Rocky Mtn, and Lonesome Ridge, dominate the skyline, reaching heights that dictate the paths of historic transit routes. Navigation through this formidable terrain relies on gaps such as Route Creek Pass and Headquarters Creek Pass. This area, centered on the high alpine waters of Our Lake, reflects the conservation of wild public lands in Teton County, where the topography remains largely untouched by modern development.
