About this map

Teton Pass stands as the central landmark of this mid-1990s survey, marking a critical crossing between the Teton Range and the Snake River Range. The settlement of Wilson appears at the northeastern edge of the sheet, served by the Trail Creek Road and surrounded by established seasonal properties like the Trail Creek Ranch and the Black Canyon Summer Home Area. High-altitude features including the Glory Slide and a Microwave Station reflect the mountain-pass infrastructure, while the Elliott Cem near Wilson provides a specific point of interest for family historians.

The map details an extensive network of waterways and canyons, including Mosquito Creek, Fall Creek, and Black Canyon, which define the drainage of the Palisades Wilderness Study Area. Numerous 4WD trails and indefinite boundaries suggest a landscape managed for both recreation and preservation across the Targhee National Forest and Teton National Forest. From the heights of Taylor Mountain to the depths of Mosquito Gulch, this record captures the topographic complexity of the Wyoming high country during the late 20th century.
