About this map

Teton National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape within the Gros Ventre Range, where a network of primitive trails connects isolated alpine waters. The namesake Turquoise Lake and the northern Goodwin Lake serve as primary landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. Significant peaks such as Table Mtn, Cache Peak, and Pinnacle Peak define the horizon, while the protected waters of the Snake River Headwaters-Wild and Scenic River corridor cut through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Migration and movement through this area are defined by historical routes like the Granite Highline Trl and the Turquoise Lake Cut-Off Trl. Numerous drainages, including Flat Cr, Bunker Cr, and Horse Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the western Wyoming wilderness. This map provides a modern record of these established trails and natural features, many of which have served as essential waypoints for generations of mountain travelers.
