About this map

Targhee National Forest defines the character of this 1968 landscape, where a intricate drainage network of creeks and high ridgelines dominates the terrain of Teton County. The map details a transition from the lower elevations near Jackpine Loop Rd to the prominent peaks of Mount Nord and Rammel Mountain. This era of the forest is captured through its primitive transportation network, including the Poacher Trail and various unnamed pack trails that navigate the steep ascent toward Dead Horse Pass.

The hydrography of the region is centered on the multiple branches of Bitch Creek, which carve deep into the landscape at the Bitch Creek Narrows. These waterways, along with Indian Meadows and the secluded Hidden Corral Basin, suggest a land used primarily for high-country grazing and backcountry passage. The survey provides a clear view of the complex topography before more modern recreational infrastructure altered these traditional trails and canyon routes.
