2024 Map of Our Lake

About this map

The Bob Marshall Wilderness and Lewis & Clark National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape in the Sawtooth Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines such as Lonesome Ridge and peaks like Old Baldy and Rocky Mtn, which serve as the headwaters for a complex network of waterways. Water flows from the alpine Our Lake and through numerous forks, including the Middle Fork North Fork Teton River and the South Fork Teton River. Historically significant for its lack of roads, the area is navigated via a network of primitive paths like the Headquarters Creek Trl and Beartop Lookout Trl. These routes cross significant gaps in the mountain wall such as Headquarters Creek Pass and Route Creek Pass, illustrating how geography has dictated movement through this Teton County backcountry for generations.
