About this map

Jackson sits at the western edge of this topographic study, where the developed streets of the town give way to the protected expanses of the National Elk Refuge and the Teton National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, moving from the flat valley floor near Millers Butte up into the high country of the Gros Ventre Range. A complex network of recreation and access paths, including the Crystal Butte Trail, Ferrins Trail, and Putt - Putt Trail, spiderwebs through the canyons and draws southeast of town.

Local history and terrain are intertwined in names like Noker Mine Draw, Horsethief Canyon, and Gin Pole Draw, reflecting early resource extraction and frontier lore. Water sources such as Millers Springs and the headwaters of Cache Cr flow through the deep drainages of Wilson Canyon and Woods Canyon. To the east, the terrain reaches its peak at Nowlin Peak and Jackson Peak, marking the high divide between the Jackson Hole valley and the wilderness beyond.
