2018 Map of Upper Slide Lake

About this map

Teton National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the Gros Ventre River carves a path through the wilderness east of Jackson Hole. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by dramatic hydro-geology, most notably at Upper Slide and Upper Slide Lake, formed by massive earth movements. The map details a complex drainage network including Goosewing Cr, Lake Cr, and Soda Creek, which feed into the main river valley. Evidence of seasonal use and navigation persists through named points like Two Echo Park and the elevated Gunsight Pass. Upland features such as Yellowjacket Flat and Breakneck Flat provide significant topographical context for those studying the remote cattle-grazing and hunting grounds of western Wyoming, while the label for Coal Mine Draw hints at the area's geological and extractive potential.
