1970 Map of Thorofare Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Thorofare Buttes dominates the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of numerous drainages converge at the boundary of the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest. This 1970 survey captures a wilderness unchanged by modern development, showing the complex watershed that feeds Ishawooa Creek and the Borner Fork. The terrain is characterized by massive formations like Petrified Ridge and Wapiti Ridge, with high-elevation crossing points such as Ishawooa Pass and Deer Creek Pass providing the only passage through the mountains. A system of designated Pack Trails follows the contour of the valleys, connecting isolated landmarks like Spruce Meadow and the prominent Ishawooa Cone, reflecting the remote and preserved state of the Washakie Wilderness and Teton Wilderness during the early 1970s.
