About this map

The Gros Ventre Range dominates this mid-1990s survey, representing a high-elevation backcountry corridor within the Teton National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and peaks, with Flat Creek and Granite Creek carving paths through the protected reaches of the Gros Ventre Wilderness. Notable landmarks like Cache Peak and Pinnacle Peak provide orientation for the region's historical trails and seasonal outposts.

Evidence of recreational and seasonal use is scattered across the terrain, from the Ski Cabin near Goodwin Lake to the Hunting Camp situated north of Granite Creek. The Highline Trail traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle, passing near the eponymous Turquoise Lake. This map serves as a detailed record of the wilderness boundary and trail networks before late-century shifts in forest management, capturing the location of remote backcountry infrastructure.
