About this map

Grand Teton National Park and Targhee National Forest converge on this 1968 survey, marking the intersection of the Teton Range's drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the high-altitude divide between the North Fork Granite Creek and the headwaters of North Fork Teton Creek, with the Teton Crest Trail winding along the ridge past Marion Lake. This era shows a wilderness largely accessible only by foot or pack animal, documented just before significant modernization of regional recreation infrastructure.

Further south, the Teton Pass corridor includes notable landmarks such as Mount Glory and the Glory Slide. The presence of the Patrol Cabin near Granite Creek and the Coal Creek Campground highlights the mid-century administrative and recreational footprint within the forest. These detailed contours capture the complex drainage of Taylor Basin and Jensen Canyon, essential for understanding the hydrology of the western slope.
