About this map

Jackson Hole Airport and the busy road corridor of Gros Ventre Junction anchor the valley floor in this 2015 study of the Teton landscape. The terrain is defined by prominent rises including Blacktail Butte to the north and East Gros Ventre Butte to the west, which divert the flow of the Gros Ventre River and various spring-fed tributaries. To the east, the landscape transitions into the protected slopes of Teton National Forest, where Curtis Canyon and the headwaters of Sheep Cr reveal the topographical complexity of the valley's edge.

Hydrological features are particularly dense here, ranging from the thermal waters of Abercrombie Warm Springs to the irrigation and drainage networks of Flat Cr and Nowlin Cr. This modern survey documents the interface between the high-traffic gateway of Grand Teton National Park and the rural development of Spring Gulch, providing a clear look at the intersection of public land management and local infrastructure.
