1996 Map of Thorofare Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Thorofare Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Teton National Forest, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the upper Yellowstone region in the mid-1990s. The topographic detail traces the descent from Thunder Mountain through deep drainages like Castle Creek and Hidden Creek, which feed into the wider valley of Thorofare Creek. This 1996 revision by the U.S. Forest Service documents the protected Teton Wilderness, where human infrastructure is limited to primitive routes like the Yellowstone Trail. The map captures the confluence where several smaller streams, including Elk Creek, meet the primary watercourses, while the North Fork Yellowstone River begins its course in the southeastern corner. It is a specialized record of a high-country environment where names like Butte denote the few distinct landmarks above the timberline.
