About this map

Jenny Lake and the southern reaches of Jackson Lake dominate this 2012 Teton County landscape. The map details a complex aquatic geography of bays and islands, including the large Elk Island and the smaller Marie Island and Badger Island. Long-established recreational sites are central to the area's layout, specifically the Jenny Lake Lodge and Jenny Lake Campground, which are connected by Jenny Lake Rd.

The western terrain rises sharply into the Teton Range, marked by dramatic features such as Cascade Canyon, Hanging Canyon, and the iconic Inspiration Point. East of the lakes, the glacial geology is evident in the presence of Burnt Ridge and Burned Ridge overlooking the Snake River. This map serves as a primary record of the modern infrastructure and scenic turnouts, like the Cathedral Group Scenic Turnout, that facilitate access to this wilderness area.
