About this map

Grand Teton National Park dominates this 1981 survey, where the sharp rise of the Teton Range meets the valley floor. High-altitude landmarks like Mount Moran, Grand Teton, and Mount Owen overlook a network of glacial lakes including Leigh Lake and Jenny Lake. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness, while the southern expanse covers the National Elk Refuge and the Jackson Hole Airport.

Regional transportation centers on U.S. Highway 89 191 287, connecting the settlements of Colter Bay Village, Moran, and Moose. The Snake River provides the primary drainage, carving through the valley past the Oxbow Bend and towards the Gros Ventre Range. Local history is noted at sites like the Jackson National Fish Hatchery and small Cem locations, reflecting the era's balance of federal land management and tourism infrastructure at Jackson Lake Lodge.
