1958 Map of Twin Lakes

About this map

The Teton River flows along the southern edge of this landscape, where the Gaging Sta monitors the waterway near the Olson Ranch. This mid-century survey illustrates a sparse ranching economy in Teton County, defined by family-named holdings like the Knowlton Ranch and Hughes Ranch. Educational infrastructure is represented by the Blackleaf Sch in the northwest, serving the dispersed rural population. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including Blindhorse Creek, Muddy Creek, and the Clark Fork. These watercourses dictate the placement of roads and homesteads, such as the Clark Brothers Ranch (Alma'd) and the Ostle Ranch, which are positioned near the creeks. The namesake Twin Lakes sit near the river's northern banks, providing a distinct landmark in an area of complex topographical relief.
