2024 Map of Palisades Peak

About this map

Palisades Peak and the high ridges of the Snake River Range dominate this modern survey of the borderlands between Idaho and Wyoming. Centered on the rugged high country where Targhee National Forest meets Teton National Forest, the map details a landscape defined by dramatic drainages like Dead Man Canyon and Ice Cove Canyon. The presence of the Sheep Driveway and numerous established routes like Hunts Corral Trl and Sheep Camp Trl reflect the region's long-standing use for high-altitude livestock movement. At lower elevations, the hydrology of the area is anchored by Upper Palisades Lake and the confluence of the North Fork Palisades Creek and East Fork Palisades Creek, which carve deep paths through the mountainous terrain. Other prominent heights including Little Palisades Peak, Starvation Peak, and Mud Peak provide a clear view of the complex topography along the Bonneville and Teton county lines.
