About this map

Teton National Forest and Grand Teton National Park converge in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River. The terrain is defined by the massive profile of Whetstone Mtn, which serves as a central hub for a network of remote backcountry routes.

A system of primitive trails and access points, including Pacific Creek Rd and Whetstone Rd, provides the only infrastructure through these protected lands. The drainage patterns of W Whetstone Cr and E Fork Pilgrim Cr illustrate the complex hydrology of the Teton wilderness. For those studying the modern management of this corridor, the map details the intersection of various administrative boundaries and recreational paths like the Pacific Creek Trl and Gravel Creek Trl.
