2015 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson and the surrounding valley floor are defined by the braided channels of the Snake River as it flows south between the high peaks of the Teton National Forest. This 2015 survey details the modern layout of the town, from the commercial core near Cache Creek to the residential growth south toward South Park and Rafter J Ranch. The topography is dominated by the massive formations of West Gros Ventre Butte and East Gros Ventre Butte, which rise abruptly from the valley floor. To the east, the steep slopes of Josies Ridge and Snow King Mountain hem in the town, while the expansive Snake River floodplain to the west is crisscrossed by smaller tributaries like Fish Creek and Spring Creek. Local landmarks such as the Melody Ranch Airport and the town Cemetery on Aspen Hill provide specific points of reference for those studying the contemporary landscape of this mountain community.
