1965 Map of Togwotee Pass

About this map

Togwotee Pass stands as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide separates the headwaters of the Wind River from those flowing toward the Pacific. The survey details a remote wilderness at the boundary of Teton and Fremont Counties, dominated by the dramatic Breccia Cliffs and peaks like Breccia Peak and Simpson Peaks. A network of alpine water bodies, including Upper Jade Lake, Lower Jade Lake, and the expansive Brooks Lake, indicates a terrain defined by glacial activity and high-elevation drainage. The presence of Holmes Cave and names like Terrace Meadows suggest a landscape used by early explorers and seasonal travelers. Within the Teton Wilderness, the map traces the Wilderness Trail and Camp Road, marking the thin line between established access and the primitive backcountry of the Teton National Forest.
