About this map

Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge converge in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the Gros Ventre River and Jackson Hole valley. The map documents a critical wildlife corridor and conservation area, featuring the Jackson National Fish Hatchery and the Elk Exhibition Pasture. Settlement is concentrated at the town of Kelly in the northeast, while the western portion is anchored by the Jackson Hole Airport.

Topographical landmarks like Blacktail Butte, Millers Butte, and East Gros Ventre Butte rise above the wetlands and braided channels of Flat Cr and Nowlin Cr. Hydrological features such as Abercrombie Warm Springs and Peterson Springs dot the refuge floor. The eastern boundary transitions into the steep terrain of the Teton National Forest, where drainage from Sheep Cr and Curtis Canyon feeds into the valley system.
