2012 Map of Upper Slide Lake

About this map

Upper Slide Lake and the Gros Ventre River define this high-altitude landscape in the Teton region. This 2012 survey documents a complex drainage network where the river is joined by numerous tributaries, including Tepee Cr and Goosewing Cr. The topography is marked by expansive clearings and plateaus such as Yellowjacket Flat, Breakneck Flat, and the curiously named Two Echo Park. Evidence of early extraction or geography-based naming persists at Coal Mine Draw near the river bend. Access to this remote area is primarily maintained via the Gros Ventre Rd and Goosewing Ranch Lodge Rd, which navigate the terrain between the Gray Hills and Gunsight Pass. The map also captures smaller water bodies like Goose Lake and Soda Lake, providing a clear view of the hydrological patterns of the Teton Wilderness boundary.
