1996 Map of Yellowstone Point

About this map

The Teton Wilderness and Teton National Forest define this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide winds through the southern reaches. This area is characterized by the confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Thorofare River, creating a network of riparian basins and drainages including Seneca Creek and Castle Creek. Remote administrative markers like the Hawks Rest Patrol Cabin and the FS Radio Repeater near Hawks Rest indicate the light human footprint in this backcountry region during the mid-1990s. Long-established routes such as the Thorofare Trail and the Atlantic-Pacific Trail skirt the edges of peaks like Yellowstone Point, following natural corridors used by generations of travelers crossing into the high country. The map also captures an Indefinite Boundary and the convergence of several county lines at Tri-county Lake, reflecting the complexities of mapping this difficult terrain.
