1968 Map of Colter Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Jackson Lake dominates this 1960s study of the Grand Teton National Park shoreline, revealing the concentration of mid-century recreational infrastructure along its eastern banks. The development at Colter Bay Village serves as the focal point, featuring a complex of facilities including an Amphitheater, Campground, and Visitor Center. Further north, Leeks Lodge and a Patrol Cabin near Berry Creek mark the limit of established outposts before the terrain rises sharply into the Teton Range. The western shore is defined by deep, glacially-carved incisions like Webb Canyon, Colter Canyon, and Waterfalls Canyon, which contains the Columbine Cascade. This map illustrates the intersection of intensive park management and wild landscapes, documenting the specific placement of Sewage Disposal Ponds and a network of trails, including the Hermitage Trail, during the peak of the park's modernization era.
