2015 Map of Mount Moran

About this map

Mt Moran dominates the northeast quadrant of this landscape, surrounded by high-altitude glacial features like the Triple Glaciers and Falling Ice Glacier. The terrain transition is sharp, descending from the granite peaks of the Grand Teton National Park down through deep glacial troughs including Cascade Canyon and Leigh Canyon. Water is a defining element here, with numerous high-country basins holding Lake Solitude, Mica Lake, and Holly Lake. The survey details a network of drainage systems, including the N Fork Moran Cr and S Fork Moran Cr, which feed toward Jackson Lake just beyond the eastern boundary. This edition provides a record of the wilderness boundary between the national park and the adjacent Targhee National Forest to the west, along the Dry Ridge Mtn and Green Lakes Mtn crest.
