1967 Map of Tosi Peak

About this map

Tosi Peak and the high alpine terrain of the Gros Ventre Range dominate this mid-century survey of the Wyoming wilderness. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Teton National Forest and the Bridger National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of Tosi Creek, Tepee Creek, and Clear Creek carve through the high country. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only evidence of human passage through the Sawtooth Range and across Elk Ridge, connecting points of interest like the Water Dog Lakes and Coyote Basin. These trails suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management rather than permanent settlement. The presence of several named draws, such as Beaver Dam Draw and Cabin Draw, points to a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and early mountain ranching or trapping activities.
