1996 Map of Cache Creek

About this map

Jackson sits at the edge of this survey, where the valley floor transitions into the high peaks of the Gros Ventre Range. The landscape is dominated by managed wilderness and conservation areas, including the southern portion of the Elk National Refuge and the expansive Gros Ventre Wilderness. This 1990s record details the intersection of public land management and historical resource extraction, evidenced by the Jackson Mine and Noker Mine tucked into the slopes near Cache Creek. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Flat Creek and the Snake River winding through the southwestern corner, while Horsethief Canyon and Woods Canyon carve deep paths into the mountains. Small-scale infrastructure like the Refuge Hdqrs and a Tank Trap suggest the localized activity within the Teton National Forest during this period.
