1968 Map of Gros Ventre Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gros Ventre River meanders across this northern Wyoming landscape where the boundary of Grand Teton National Park meets the massive expanse of the National Elk Refuge. The map captures a moment in the late 1960s when aviation and wildlife management infrastructures were firmly established, notably the Jackson Hole Airport and the Jackson National Fish Hatchery. The valley floor is punctuated by prominent geological features like Blacktail Butte and Millers Butte, while the eastern portion of the sheet rises into the Teton National Forest along Flat Creek. Settlement is sparse, characterized by the village of Kelly and private holdings like Warm Springs Ranch and Twin Creek Ranch. Of particular interest to local historians is the inclusion of the Exhibition Pasture and the intricate network of water features, including Nowlin Creek and a marked Aqueduct, which trace the intersection of ranching history and federal conservation efforts.
