1968 Map of Grand Teton

About this map

Grand Teton National Park dominates this 1968 landscape, characterized by the dramatic verticality of the Teton Range. The survey highlights several historic properties and working ranches within the park boundaries and nearby Jackson Hole, including the White Grass Ranch, J Y Ranch, and R Lazy S Ranch. These sites represent the era's blend of conservation and traditional land use. Higher elevations are defined by named geological features like the Hurricane Pass, the massive The Wall, and active ice fields such as Schoolroom Glacier and Teton Glacier. The transition from the high peaks like Grand Teton down through Death Canyon to the shores of Phelps Lake illustrates the complex drainage systems of the region, where water moves from alpine basins into the Snake River valley.
