About this map

Continental Divide crests through this high-altitude landscape where the Teton National Forest meets the Shoshone National Forest. The geography is defined by prominent volcanic summits like Breccia Peak and the Simpson Peaks, overlooking complex drainage systems that feed into Blackrock Cr and the South Buffalo Fork. The high-country hydrology is remarkably dense, featuring the Upper Brooks Lakes, Lower Jade Lake, and the alpine waters of Brooks Lake nestled near the southern boundary.

Transit through this portion of the Absaroka Range is recorded along the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the S Fork Buffalo Trail. The map documents critical mountain passages including Togwotee Pass and Bear Cub Pass, which have served as vital corridors for travel across the divide for centuries. Landforms like Breccia Cliffs and the secluded Holmes Cave highlight the varied geology that continues to draw backcountry explorers and wilderness researchers.
