About this map

The Gros Ventre Slide dominates the southern landscape of this 1990s survey, a massive geologic feature situated just above Lower Slide Lake. The map details the interface between the Grand Teton National Park and the Teton National Forest, illustrating a region defined by tectonic activity and conservation. On the western edge, the flat expanse of Antelope Flats transitions toward the base of Shadow Mountain.

Social and historical footprints are visible in the settlement of Kelly, where a Cemetery, Substation, and nearby Landing Strip indicate the local infrastructure of the era. Educational and recreational sites, such as the Teton Science School, Lost Creek Ranch, and a Boat Ramp on the lake, reflect the area's dual identity as both a wild sanctuary and a destination for western study and tourism. Hydrological features like Kelly Warm Spring and the branching South Fork further define this complex drainage system.
