About this map

Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge dominate this landscape, meeting at the Gros Ventre River. The area illustrates a complex network of conservation and aviation, where the Jackson Hole Airport and its Beacon operate in proximity to the Jackson National Fish Hatchery. Small settlements and seasonal outposts like Gros Ventre Junction, Kelly, and the Twin Creek Ranch provide fixed points of human habitation amidst the vast federal lands.

Hydrological management is evident through a series of Ditches and an Aqueduct crossing the Flat Creek drainage. Notable elevation points such as Blacktail Butte and Millers Butte rise above the basin, while the Curtis Canyon Overlook provides a vantage point into the Teton National Forest and the Gros Ventre Wilderness. Local recreation and service infrastructure is represented by the Jackson Hole Country Club and a Radio Facility near the airport grounds.
