About this map

The National Elk Refuge and the Teton National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape east of Jackson, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Gros Ventre Range, including the prominent Jackson Peak and Nowlin Peak. Human activity is concentrated around the Refuge Hdqrs and small-scale extractive sites such as Jackson Mine, Noker Mine, and a Gravel Pit.

Water moves through the region via the Snake River at the southwestern corner and several deep drainages like Cache Creek, Game Creek, and Horsethief Canyon. The map details a network of primitive access routes, from Jeep Trails near the river to various Pack Trails used to navigate the high backcountry. Hydrological monitoring is evident at Gaging Sta 6754 along Cache Creek, reflecting the importance of water management in this mountain environment.
