2015 Map of Palisades Peak

About this map

Upper Palisades Lake sits deep within the Snake River Range, marking a high-elevation point where the Targhee National Forest and Teton National Forest meet. This 2015 topography shows a landscape defined by dramatic drainage systems, including the complex headwaters of Palisades Creek and its various tributaries like E Fork Palisades Creek and N Fork Palisades Creek. The state line between Idaho and Wyoming runs through the eastern portion of the map, bisecting the Divide Trail as it traverses ridges between Mosquito Pass and Mud Peak. Named canyons such as Ice Cove Canyon, Dead Man Canyon, and Starvation Peak suggest a challenging historical environment for early travelers and surveyors navigating the high country between Bonneville and Teton counties.
