1965 Map of Rosies Ridge

About this map

Teton National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the braided channels of the Buffalo Fork river wind through high-elevation meadows and timber. The presence of the Blackrock Ranger Station and nearby Hatchet Campground indicates the area's role as a gateway for forestry management and backcountry recreation. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Teton Wilderness, accessible via the Ends Lake Trail and various pack routes that connect the low-lying Turpin Meadow to the higher ridges. The map captures a high-country economy focused on conservation and seasonal use, evidenced by the Turpin Meadow Lodge and various recreation sites. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Baldy Mountain and the elongated spine of Rosies Ridge, while southern drainages such as Spread Creek and Skull Creek feed the larger river system through narrow draws like Wallace Draw.
