About this map

Turquoise Lake sits at the center of this high-elevation terrain in the Gros Ventre Range, illustrating a landscape defined by sharp topographical relief and glacial hydrology. The map captures the radial drainage patterns of the region, where waters flow into Granite Cr and Bunker Cr to the east, while Cache Cr and its namesake Cache Peak dominate the western portion of the quadrangle.

High summits like Pinnacle Peak provide a dramatic backdrop for a network of remote alpine drainages, including Blackman Cr and Little Granite Cr. To the north, Goodwin Lake and Sheep Cr mark the headwaters of vital tributaries. This 2012 U.S. Geological Survey representation emphasizes the natural features of the Teton County backcountry, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology and landforms without the encroachment of significant man-made infrastructure.
