1970 Map of Yellow Mountain

About this map

The Yellow Mountain area within Park County is defined by the complex confluence of alpine waterways and protected forest lands as they appeared in 1970. This landscape is shaped by the wide valley of Thorofare Creek, which collects numerous tributaries including Dell Creek, Woody Creek, and the Burner Fork. The presence of the Thorofare Trail (Pack) indicates the area's primary mode of access through the Teton Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness. These primitive routes and the absence of roads underscore the remote character of this high-elevation region during the late 20th century.
