2011 Map of Walling Reef

About this map

Walling Reef and Hurricane Mountain define the prominent vertical geography of this Teton County landscape, where the Rocky Mountain Front meets the plains. The drainage network is dense and complex, characterized by the North Fork Teton River in the south and various branches of the Dupuyer Creek system. Many features carry descriptive local names such as Bum Shot Mountain, Old Man of the Hills, and Bloody Hill, suggesting a history of hunting and early frontier encounters. The watercourses, including Fright Creek, Happy Creek, and Phone Creek, illustrate a territory that was likely named by early surveyors or ranchers based on specific incidents or environmental traits. This 2011 survey serves as a modern record of the hydrologic and topographic layout of the region before significant contemporary changes in land management.
