About this map

The Snake River corridor serves as the primary artery through this 1980s-era landscape, where the John D Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway bridges the transition between major federal lands. The map details the northern reaches of Grand Teton National Park as it meets the southern boundary of the Yellowstone region, specifically around the developed hub of Flagg Ranch. This area is characterized by a high concentration of backcountry infrastructure, including a Ranger Station, Gaging Station, and the specialized Sewage Disposal Plant serving the ranch area.

Hydrological and thermal features are prominent throughout the drainage of Polecat Creek, notably Huckleberry Hot Springs. As the river flows south toward Jackson Lake, it is fed by numerous tributaries such as Arizona Creek and Lizard Creek. The rugged interior is accessed via an extensive network of a Pack Trail, allowing movement through the high elevations of Steamboat Mountain and into the primitive reaches of the Teton Wilderness.
