About this map

The Gros Ventre River carves a complex, braided path across this landscape, defining the northern geography near the settlement of Kelly. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where aviation infrastructure at the Jackson Hole Airport exists alongside significant conservation and agricultural efforts. To the south, the Jackson National Fish Hatchery and Peterson Springs highlight the importance of the local water network, including Flat Creek and Nowlin Creek.

Evidence of established land use appears at Warm Springs Ranch and Twin Creek Ranch, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the rising terrain of Curtis Canyon. A dense network of local roads such as Fish Hatchery Rd and Elk Refuge Rd provides access to the National Elk Refuge, showing how transportation has been managed to accommodate both resident ranching and the area's protected natural resources.
