About this map

Grand Teton National Park's central corridor is documented here during the late 1960s, showing a landscape defined by glacial lakes and the emerging recreational infrastructure of the post-war era. Visitors at the time navigated the region via the Teton Park Road, which links key points of interest like the Cathedral Group Scenic Turnout and Mount Moran Scenic Turnout. The map captures the interface between the deep waters of Jackson Lake and the smaller, iconic basins of Leigh Lake and Jenny Lake.

Interpretive details show the development of the park's visitor services, including the Jenny Lake Lodge and Jenny Lake Campground. The intricate topography around The Potholes and Burned Ridge illustrates the complex moraine geology of Jackson Hole. Historical landmarks like the Patrol Cabin near Bearpaw Lake and the trail to Inspiration Point reflect the era's focus on both back-country management and growing public access to the Tetons' most famous vistas.
