About this map

The Snake River flows through the Grand Canyon of Wyoming in this mid-1960s survey, marking a confluence of several major drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the intersections of the Targhee National Forest, Bridger National Forest, and Teton National Forest, where steep terrain funnels into the Snake and the Little Greys River. Human activity is primarily centered on the river corridors, indicated by a series of developed sites including Station Creek Campground and Elbow Campground.

Evidence of resource exploration and infrastructure appears in the form of unnamed Prospects near the river and a Gravel Pit along the banks. The map details an extensive network of drainage features like Wolf Creek and Bailey Creek, and identifies prominent high points such as Elk Mountain. The presence of several Pack Trails suggests a landscape navigated largely by foot or horseback away from the primary river access points.
