2015 Map of Moran

About this map

Moran and Elk anchor the eastern and central portions of this 2015 study, situated where the high valley meets the protected wilderness of Grand Teton National Park. The Snake River dominates the landscape, forming the famous Oxbow Bend near Buffalo Meadow before flowing south past Deadmans Bar. The map provides significant detail for those tracing the road and trail networks of the modern park era, including the Signal Mountain Rd ascending to Signal Mtn and the Triangle X Ranch Rd leading into the foothills of the Teton National Forest. Large wetland features such as Willow Flats and Christian Pond illustrate the complex hydrology of the Jackson Hole valley floor, while the surrounding peaks like Lozier Hill define the topographic boundaries between the park and the national forest.
