About this map

Yellowstone River and Thorofare Creek converge in this high-altitude landscape within the Teton Wilderness, creating a complex network of wetlands and river bends near the northern boundary of the Teton National Forest. The presence of the Hawks Rest Patrol Cabin near the prominent landmark of Hawks Rest signifies the area's role in wilderness management and backcountry patrol during the late 20th century.

This terrain is defined by its remoteness, where the Continental Divide and an Indefinite Boundary separate Teton, Park, and Fremont counties. Transportation is limited to traditional routes like the Thorofare Trail and various Pack Trails, which provide access to significant water bodies such as Bridger Lake and Tri-county Lake. The map details the drainage patterns of several tributaries including Atlantic Creek, Senecio Creek, and Castle Creek as they descend from high points like Yellowstone Point.
