2012 Map of Mount Moran

About this map

Mount Moran stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain, flanked by a network of permanent ice fields and jagged peaks. The landscape is defined by its glacial history, with Triple Glaciers, Skillet Glacier, and Falling Ice Glacier clinging to the steep eastern faces of the mountains. To the west and south, the hydrology of the region flows through dramatic canyons such as Leigh Canyon and Paintbrush Canyon, feeding into alpine basins like Lake Solitude and Mica Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the N Fork Moran Cr and Cascade Cr before they descend toward the larger basin of Jackson Lake. Notable named heights such as Thor Peak, Mount Woodring, and the uniquely titled The Wigwams provide a comprehensive view of the area's named topography as it was documented in the early 21st century.
