About this map

Jackson and Wilson serve as the primary hubs in this mid-1960s survey of the Jackson Hole valley, where the braided channels of the Snake River dominate the lowlands. The map captures a transitional moment for the town of Jackson, showing local infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant and Drive-in Theater alongside the traditional Fairground. To the north, the National Elk Refuge and Teton National Forest boundary lines establish the protected character of the landscape.

Prominent geographical markers including Snow King Mountain, West Gros Ventre Butte, and East Gros Ventre Butte rise sharply from the valley floor, defining the terrain between the river and the town. Aviation and transport are well-represented with several small airstrips, such as the Fish Creek Landing Strip and South Park Landing Strip, while localized industry is noted by scattered Gravel Pit and Quarry sites.
