1968 Map of Jenny Lake

About this map

Jenny Lake and the southeastern reaches of Jackson Lake dominate this 1968 field-checked survey of the Teton wilderness. The map details a sophisticated network of recreational infrastructure within Grand Teton National Park, ranging from the Jenny Lake Lodge and Ranger Station to primitive backcountry locations like the Patrol Cabin near Moran Bay. The terrain transitions from the glacial waters of Leigh Lake and String Lake to the complex geological features of Jackson Hole, including the moraine-strewn area known as The Potholes. For researchers, the map provides an exact look at the historic trail system, including the Jenny Lake Moraine Horse Trail and the Valley Trail, documenting the established routes used for mountain access and park management before the late-twentieth-century increase in tourism.
