2012 Map of Tripod Peak

About this map

Tripod Peak serves as the literal and metaphorical high point of this Teton County drainage basin, anchoring a landscape defined by the convergence of the N Fork Spread Cr and S Fork Spread Cr. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of high-altitude tributaries, including the aptly named Two Water Cr and the cascading waters of Falls Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote wilderness character of the region, where a complex system of Forest Service roads provides the only human access through the canyons. Notable waterways such as Cottonwood Cr and Hardscrabble Cr carve through the mountain slopes, while the eastern edge is marked by the presence of Beauty Park Cr. The intricate hydrography, featuring names like Solitare Cr and Poison Cr, highlights the isolation and environmental specifics of this Wyoming backcountry.
