About this map

Grand Teton National Park dominates this terrain, where the waters of the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River define the southern landscape. The map details a complex aquatic geography centered on Jackson Lake, which features several prominent landforms including Elk Island and Grassy Island. To the south, a chain of glacial lakes—Leigh Lake, String Lake, and Jenny Lake—sits at the base of the mountains, connected by an extensive network of footpaths and horse trails.

Backpackers and hikers can trace the routes of the Jenny Lake Loop Trl and the Paintbrush Canyon Trl as they climb toward distinctive landmarks like Inspiration Point and Ribbon Cascade. The eastern portion of the map is marked by the broad expanse of Jackson Hole and the distinct elevation of Burnt Ridge, illustrating the dramatic transition from the valley floor to the high-altitude features of Snowshoe Canyon and Hanging Canyon.
