About this map

Yellowstone River and its upper tributaries form the heart of this high-elevation wilderness within the Teton National Forest. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by movement and topography rather than permanent settlement, anchored by the prominent Hawks Rest and Yellowstone Point landmarks. The intersection of major backcountry routes like the Thorofare River Trail and Yellowstone Trails reflects the area's continued importance for pack travel and wilderness access.

A complex network of drainage basins is visible, including the waters of Thorofare Creek, Atlantic Creek, and Senecio Creek. The terrain climbs toward the Absaroka Range, marking a rugged frontier where the boundaries of Teton, Park, and Fremont counties converge. Significant features like Bridger Lake and the high-altitude Tri-county Lake highlight the hydrological importance of this remote section of the Wyoming wilderness.
