WSGS fault study (WSGS) Millions of tourists visit Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every year to sightsee, hike or ski the Teton Range, which was formed by the Teton fault. The Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology provides an online interactive map of earthquake information for Montana, much of Idaho and Wyoming, and nearby areas of Washington, Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alberta, and British Columbia.
