1968 Map of Walling Reef

About this map

The dramatic escarpments of Walling Reef dominate this 1968 study of the eastern edge of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in Teton County. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the North Fork Teton River and its tributaries, such as Nanny Creek, carve through high elevations. Named landmarks like Hurricane Mountain and Bum Shot Mountain suggest the character of this mountain environment, while distinctive points like Old Man of the Hills and Bloody Hill provide specific identifiers for local history and topography. The map illustrates the convergence of several major drainages, including North Fork Dupuyer Creek and South Fork Dupuyer Creek, which flow eastward from the high peaks. This survey captures the wilderness in a transitional era of forest management, documenting primitive roads and trails that navigate the steep terrain between Mt Frazier and the northern boundary near Scoffon Creek.
