About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the literal and topographic backbone of this high-altitude landscape where Teton and Fremont counties meet. This wilderness environment is defined by its water and high peaks, featuring the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River and the rugged elevations of Simpson Peaks and Breccia Peak. The map reveals a high-country network of alpine lakes and meadows, including Brooks Lake, Upper Jade Lake, and Terrace Meadows.

Tracing the historical movement through these mountains, the sheet highlights significant high-mountain crossings like Togwotee Pass and Bear Cub Pass. A web of primitive paths, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, Holmes Cave Trail, and Jade Lake Trail, indicates the enduring use of these corridors by backcountry travelers and seasonal explorers in the Shoshone National Forest and Teton National Forest.
