1981 Map of Jackson Lake

About this map

Jackson Lake and the Snake River corridor anchor this 1981 survey of the northwestern Wyoming landscape. The map highlights the sprawling reaches of Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge, alongside established outposts like Colter Bay Village and Jackson Lake Lodge. The convergence of Us 26, Us 287, and Us 191 at Moran Junction illustrates the region's transport network before the turn of the century. Beyond the major thoroughfares, the map records the locations of smaller communities such as Kelly and Wilson, and the placement of the Jackson Hole Airport. Topographical detail is immense, tracing the Teton Range through named peaks like Mount Moran and Grand Teton, while also capturing drainage systems like Buffalo Fork and Gros Ventre River. To the east, the map extends into the high mountain crossings of Togwotee Pass and Sheridan Pass.
