2017 Map of Togwotee Pass

About this map

Togwotee Pass serves as a critical mountain crossing along the boundary between the Teton National Forest and Shoshone National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the drainages of Blackrock Cr and Brooks Lake Cr. The terrain is marked by dramatic geological formations, including the sheer Breccia Cliffs and the summit of Breccia Peak, which overlook a network of alpine waters. A system of historical and recreational paths, such as the Yellowstone Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, connects remote basins and lakes. For the researcher, the map documents the intricate relationship between high-country hydrology and transit, showing how trails like the Jade Lake Trail navigate the steep drops between Upper Jade Lake and Lower Jade Lake near the Fremont and Teton county line.
