About this map

Jack Pine sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Teton National Forest, where the topography is defined by the drainage of Granite Cr and its many tributaries. The area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, evidenced by landmarks like The Open Door and Deer Ridge. Water remains the primary architect of the terrain here, from the geothermal activity at Hot Spring to the cascading waters of Granite Falls and Shoal Falls.

A network of trails and primitive routes, such as the Granite Highline and Jackpine Creek trail, suggests a landscape managed for recreation and wilderness access. Near the southern boundary, the terrain drops toward Hoback Canyon and Game Hill, crossing the administrative line between Teton and Sublette Counties. High-altitude lakes like MacLeod Lake in the northeast corner further highlight the alpine character of this region during the mid-2010s.
