About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Teton National Forest meet in this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its thermal activity and wilderness access. Snake Hot Springs lies at the heart of this region, situated near the winding course of the Snake River. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of the Red Mountains in the north down toward Huckleberry Ridge in the south, intersected by numerous waterways including Forest Cr, Red Cr, and Basin Cr.

Backcountry travel is detailed through a network of established routes, most notably the Heart Lake Trail and the S Boundary Trail: S Entrance-Harebell. For researchers of the Teton wilderness, these trails and cutoffs like the Basin Creek Cutoff Trail illustrate the primitive infrastructure maintained within these protected lands. The map also identifies remote water bodies such as Sheridan Lake and Basin Cr Lake in the northeastern reaches.
