1978 Map of Victor

About this map

The town of Victor serves as the focal point of this late-1970s survey, situated where the Union Pacific railroad terminates in the southern Teton Basin. The map captures a moment when the community's agricultural footprint, defined by a network of canals, meets the rising slopes of the Teton Range. To the east and south, the Targhee National Forest dominates the landscape, carved by numerous drainages like Moose Creek and Sherman Creek. Local history is preserved in the location of the Victor Cem and the complex system of backcountry routes, including the Trail Creek Trail and various unnamed pack trails and jeep trails. High-altitude landmarks such as Oliver Peak and Baldy Knoll define the rugged eastern boundary where the Idaho Wyoming stateline runs through the mountains.
