About this map

Pass Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of the Teton National Forest and Bridger National Forest converge. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines including the East Rim and the topographical prominence known simply as the Rim. A network of water sources feeds the drainage basins here, from the elevated Fisherman Creek Lake to the headwaters of Jack Creek and Beaver Creek.

Evidence of human movement and utility is visible through a traditional pack trail crossing the northern sections and a lone Prospect marked in the southern reaches. The map details a complex system of creek basins, such as the Twin Creek Basin, which provided critical grazing and passage in the mid-1960s. This survey records the region's wilderness character before modern development, capturing the essential geography of the Wyoming range.
