1962 Map of Driggs
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Teton Range dominates the center of this 1962 survey, showcasing the high-altitude landscape of the Idaho-Wyoming borderlands before modern development. To the east, the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park preserve the valley floor around Jackson, while the western slopes descend toward the agricultural communities of the Teton Valley, including Driggs, Victor, and Tetonia. The map records the crucial water networks of the Snake River and its South Fork, including the newly established Palisades Reservoir. This era captures the region's connectivity via the Union Pacific RR reaching into Rexburg and St Anthony, supporting the grain and timber economies of the Targhee National Forest and Caribou National Forest. Traces of earlier resource extraction appear in labels for various prospects and gravel pits scattered across the mountain flanks.
