2023 Map of Cache Creek

About this map

The town of Jackson serves as the gateway to this corner of the Gros Ventre Range, where residential streets like E Hansen Ave give way to an extensive network of backland trails. This 2023 survey documents the transition from the valley floor to the high peaks, including Jackson Peak and Nowlin Peak. The map highlights the vast protected lands of the National Elk Refuge and the Gros Ventre Wilderness, areas where traditional land use and recreation meet. The southwestern corner shows the confluence of Game Creek and the Snake River near the community of Hoback, alongside the Pannaite Naokwaide. Throughout the canyons, features like Noker Mine Draw and Salt Lick Draw suggest the area's geological and prospecting history, while the myriad of paths such as the Hagen Highway Trl and Skyline Trl trace modern movement through the Teton National Forest.
