About this map

Shadow Mountain rises prominently over the eastern edge of Jackson Hole, marking a transition between the wide plains of Antelope Flats and the densely forested slopes of the Teton National Forest. This 1968 field-checked survey highlights the early infrastructure of the region, including the settlement of Kelly and the nearby Kelly Warm Spring. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Gros Ventre Slide Geological Area, documenting the massive earth movement that formed Lower Slide Lake.

Remote livestock operations such as Lost Creek Ranch and Zibo Ranch are established along the valley floor, while primitive routes like the North Fork Pack Trail and Middle Pack Trail wind through the high timber. The map also delineates the northern boundary of the National Elk Refuge, showcasing the critical intersection of federal lands including Grand Teton National Park and preserved wilderness areas.
