1968 Map of Colter Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Grand Teton National Park dominates this late-1960s landscape, centered on the deep blue waters of Jackson Lake. The eastern shore serves as the primary hub for park infrastructure, notably at Colter Bay Village, which includes a Visitor Center, Amphitheater, and extensive Campground facilities. This developed area is contrasted by the rugged wilderness of the Teton Range to the west, where steep drainages like Colter Canyon, Webb Canyon, and Waterfalls Canyon plunge toward the shoreline. High-altitude landmarks such as Columbine Cascade and Wilcox Point define the western ridges, while the southern peninsula near Hermitage Point contains quieter water bodies like Swan Lake and Heron Pond. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the lake, punctuated by numerous islands such as Indian Island and Moose Island, illustrating the complex glacial geography of this high-elevation mountain basin.
