About this map

Targhee National Forest defines the western high country of this Teton County landscape, where the Big Hole Mountains rise above the agricultural flats of the Teton Basin. The geography is characterized by deep drainages such as Rammell Hollow and Station Gulch, while high points like Baldy Knoll, Grandview Point, and the distinctively named Susies Nipple overlook the valley.

Water management and access are central to the area's layout, with Packsaddle Lake tucked into the higher elevations and numerous creeks like Milk Cr and N Fork Packsaddle Cr feeding the lowlands. The eastern edge of the map shows a transition to rural development near the Teton River, marked by local thoroughfares such as River Rim Ranch Rd and the Carlton Cutoff, reflecting the modern balance between public forest lands and private ranching interests.
