About this map

Snake River braids through the heart of the valley, defining the geography of Jackson Hole just below the Jackson Lake Dam. This mid-1990s record of the Teton landscape shows the integration of legacy ranching and park infrastructure, with several established homestead sites such as Triangle X Ranch, Moose Head Ranch, and Wolff Ranch preserved alongside the Cunningham Cabin (Historic Site). The transition from Grand Teton National Park to Teton National Forest is clearly delineated along the eastern and southern boundaries, showing the diverse management of this high-altitude ecosystem.

Transportation hubs at Moran Junction and Jackson Lake Junction connect the valley's lodges and viewpoints, including the Signal Mountain Lodge and the high vantage point of Signal Mountain. To the north, the river forms the distinctive Oxbow Bend before winding past Deadmans Bar. The map also captures local-history landmarks like the small Cemetery near the river and various gaging stations that monitor the watershed's activity.
