About this map

Hawks Rest and the towering heights of the Absaroka Range dominate this high-country landscape where several major drainages converge. Situated within the Teton National Forest, this territory is defined by the winding course of the Yellowstone River and its confluence with Thorofare Creek and Atlantic Creek. The confluence near Bridger Lake serves as a significant hydrological focal point, surrounded by a network of established wilderness paths including the Yellowstone River Trl and the Thorofare River Trl.

The survey captures a remote wilderness intersection where Teton, Park, and Fremont Counties meet, marked by Tri-County Lake in the southern reaches. Steep topographical gradients lead up to the prominent Yellowstone Point, while smaller watercourses like Senecio Cr and Castle Cr carve through the high plateaus. The lack of modern road infrastructure highlights the enduring reliance on historic trail routes such as the Fox Park-Yellowstone Tr for navigating this section of the Wyoming backcountry.
