2015 Map of Survey Peak

About this map

Survey Peak and the surrounding high country of Teton County stand at the intersection of three major federal land designations, including Grand Teton National Park, Targhee National Forest, and the John D Rockefeller Junior Memorial Parkway. This landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology and high-altitude basins, where Grassy Lake Reservoir and Lake of the Woods drain into a complex network of streams such as Cascade Creek and Berry Creek. The map documents a primitive transportation network consisting entirely of backcountry routes like the Survey Peak Trail and Berry Creek Trail, which navigate topographical bottlenecks at Jackass Pass and Conant Pass. These trails and named summits like Mt Berry and Forellen Peak illustrate the area’s importance for conservation and wilderness management in the early 21st century.
