About this map

McCain Guard Station serves as a remote outpost in this high-altitude landscape where the Bridger National Forest and Teton National Forest meet. The geography is defined by the convergence of the Greys River, Little Greys River, and Middle Greys River, which carve through deep drainages separated by massive landforms like Grayback Ridge and Middle Ridge.

A complex network of primitive transportation routes illustrates the area's history as a working wilderness. A dedicated Stock Driveway parallels the Willow Creek drainage, while various names like Jeer Trail, Pack Trail, and the Telephone Hollow Trail reveal the specialized ways rangers and ranchers navigated these slopes. Significant high points such as Deadman Mountain, Pickle Pass, and Telephone Pass provided the necessary corridors and landmarks for travel before modern road infrastructure reached into these mountain reaches.
