About this map

The Teton Range dominates this late-19th-century survey, which was updated just after World War II to reflect the expanding protected lands of northwestern Wyoming. This edition integrates the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole National Monument over the original 1899 topography. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of Grand Teton and Mt Owen looking down on Jackson Lake and the Snake River valley.

A network of early homesteads and lodges characterizes the valley floor, including Jackson Lake Lodge, Sargents Ranch, and Cunningham Ranch. The presence of the Menor Ferry Bridge across the river indicates early infrastructure supporting the remote settlements of Grovont and Wilson. This particular reprint is notable for its use of red ink to denote road and boundary revisions made by the National Park Service in 1945, providing a clear visual record of how the park's footprint evolved over half a century.
