About this map

The Snake River carves a path through the northern portion of this landscape, marking a significant hydrological corridor at the convergence of three major national forests. This 2017 study illustrates the complex management boundaries where the Targhee National Forest, Teton National Forest, and Bridger National Forest meet. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes, from the depths of the Grand Canyon of the Snake River to the high peaks of the Wyoming Range.

Resource management and recreational access are highlighted through features like the Elk Mountain Lookout Spur and the Pine Bar. The southern portion is dominated by the Little Greys River and its numerous tributaries, such as McCain Creek and Whiskey Cr, revealing the dense drainage network of the Elk Mtn vicinity. This map documents a wilderness primarily shaped by forestry and water rather than permanent settlement.
