2017 Map of Shadow Mountain

About this map

Shadow Mtn stands as a central topographic anchor where the plains of Antelope Flats meet the higher timber of Teton National Forest. This 2017 study details a critical conservation and recreation landscape, showing the convergence of Grand Teton National Park and the northern reaches of the National Elk Refuge. The drainage patterns are defined by Ditch Cr and the Gros Ventre River, the latter feeding into Lower Slide Lake at the southern edge of the sheet. Local history is anchored by the Kelly Cem and the nearby Kelly Warm Spring, markers of early settlement and the unique geothermal character of the Jackson Hole region. A dense network of forest roads and loops, such as Shadow Loop and Ditch Creek Rd, illustrates the modern accessibility of these lands for public management.
