About this map

Grand Teton National Park and Targhee National Forest meet at a high-elevation divide defined by the sharp verticality of the northern Teton Range. The landscape is dominated by a sequence of massive summits, including Ranger Peak, Doane Peak, and Eagles Rest Peak, which rise above deep glacial troughs. These drainages, such as Colter Canyon, Webb Canyon, and Waterfalls Canyon, channel snowmelt into creeks that eventually feed the Snake River system.

Remote hydrology is a central feature of this 2015 survey, revealing high-altitude water bodies like Talus Lake and Dudley Lake. The drainage patterns are complex, with Berry Cr flowing north while S Bitch Cr and N Bitch Cr drain the western slopes. Notable landmarks like Moose Mountain Slide and Wilderness Falls suggest a dynamic alpine environment where geology and hydrology continue to reshape the terrain.
