About this map

Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Lewis and Clark National Forest dominate this Teton County landscape as it was documented in the mid-1990s. The geography is defined by the massive limestone uplift of Walling Reef, a prominent Escarpment that separates the high wilderness interior from the eastern foothills. This region serves as a critical headwaters area, where the North Fork Dupuyer Creek and South Fork Dupuyer Creek emerge from the high ridges to flow eastward toward the plains.

Evidence of historical naming and land use is found in the scattered peaks and drainages, such as Hurricane Mountain, Bum Shot Mountain, and the curious Old Man of the Hills. The map traces the upper reaches of the Teton River and numerous small tributaries like Nanny Creek and Happy Creek, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Bob Marshall Range before modern environmental shifts altered these sensitive alpine corridors.
