1965 Map of Rosies Ridge

About this map

Buffalo Fork snakes through this high-altitude landscape of the Teton National Forest and Teton Wilderness, defining a region shaped by wilderness recreation and forestry management in the mid-1960s. The presence of the Blackrock Ranger Station and various seasonal facilities like the Turpin Meadow Lodge and Hatchet Campground reflects the area's role as a gateway for backcountry exploration. High ridges and peaks such as Rosies Ridge and Baldy Mountain overlook a complex drainage system including Blackrock Creek and Spread Creek. This survey captures the infrastructure of the day, from the Pack Trail networks near Turpin Meadow to the Radio Tower on the ridge, providing a look at land use before modern changes. For genealogists and local historians, the specific locations of the Fourmile Meadow Picnic Area and named flats like Sagebrush Flat offer precise points for tracing historical movement through these mountains.
