About this map

Ouzel Falls and the headwaters of the Gros Ventre River anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Teton National Forest. Compiled from late-20th-century surveys, the topography illustrates a complex network of drainage systems including Bacon Creek, Dry Fork, and Kinky Creek. The map documents the high ridges that define the region, such as Sportsman Ridge and Bacon Ridge, which overlook isolated water bodies like Lunch Lake and Mud Lake.

Evidence of human habitation is scarce, concentrated at the Horn Ranch and another unnamed Ranch along the northern forest boundary. These sites, situated near the Wilderness Boundary, suggest the survival of seasonal grazing or private inholdings amidst protected lands. The transition from the Jackson Pinedale area across the Teton and Sublette county line highlights the administrative divisions of this backcountry terrain during the mid-1990s.
