About this map

Yellowstone Point and the high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate this 2017 survey of the remote wilderness within Teton National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the convergence of major glacial valleys and headwaters, where the Yellowstone River flows past Bridger Lake and meets the winding course of Thorofare Creek.

A network of primitive routes, including the Thorofare River Trail and Fox-Park-Yellowstone Tr, indicates the area's importance as a corridor for backcountry travel. The convergence of Teton, Park, and Fremont counties at Tri-county Lake highlights the intersection of administrative boundaries in this roadless terrain. Features like Hawks Rest provide essential landmarks for navigating the complex drainage systems of Atlantic Creek and Senecio Cr.
