About this map

Pacific Creek serves as the primary drainage through this backcountry terrain in Teton County, joined by several tributaries including Whetstone Creek and the East Fork Pilgrim Creek. The landscape is dominated by the summit of Whetstone Mountain, providing a stark topographical anchor for the surrounding drainages of Lava Creek and Gravel Creek.

Access to this wilderness area is centered around the Pacific Creek Trailhead, situated near the small outpost of Wilderness Ranch. The transportation network is limited to unpaved routes such as Pacific Creek Road, Whetstone Road, and Two Ocean Lake Road, which trace the valley floors and lower slopes. This survey reflects the modern management of these remote lands, highlighting the intersection of water resources and mountain access points.
