About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this map, where the dramatic elevation of Volcano Reef and the deep incision of Blackleaf Canyon define the landscape. This area serves as a rugged transition between the high forest peaks and the vast eastern coulees. The map details a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the Middle Fork Dry Fork Marias River and several branches of Dupuyer Creek.

Ranching history is evident through numerous named access roads like TMR Ranch Rd, W Gypsy Basin Rd, and Evan Campbell Rd. The terrain is further characterized by distinct coulees such as Gansman Coulee, Toms Coulee, and Ben English Coulee, which provide vital clues to the water-dependent settlement and land-use patterns of Teton County. Large tracts are identified by private land boundary markers, indicating the intersection of public forest land and private agricultural holdings.
