Abstract
This publication consists of a map, report, and digital data that depict relative susceptibility to deep-seated landslides in central and southern Teton County, Wyoming. Landslide susceptibility was modeled by spatially intersecting three classes of rock strength - generated from 57 published and unpublished geologic maps - with eight classes of slope angle derived from resampled bare-earth lidar digital elevation models. The resultant eight-class landslide susceptibility raster was validated with an independent inventory of approximately 2,100 previously mapped deep-seated landslides. Results are intended to provide officials and the public with a general understanding of where deep-seated landslides are more likely to occur, with the goal of informing land-use planning, infrastructure siting, and risk reduction efforts.
