About this map

Snake Hot Springs lies at the heart of this Teton County survey, marking a geothermal presence near the banks of the Snake River. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Forest Cr and Red Cr flow southward to join the river's main channel. In the northeast and east, the hydrology shifts toward high-elevation water bodies like Sheridan Lake and Basin Creek Lake, with the latter feeding into Basin Cr.

The presence of the U.S. Geological Survey and Forest Service in the margin highlights the managed nature of this wilderness area. The confluence of Coulter Cr and Harebell Cr in the southeastern corner demonstrates the complex network of mountain streams that sustain the local ecosystem. This 2012 edition provides an exact record of these water features before modern environmental shifts or seasonal changes might alter their paths.
