About this map

Rendezvous Mountain and the development of the modern ski area define this late 1960s landscape near Teton Village. The map captures the infrastructure of early mountain recreation, including the Aerial Tramway and Ski Lift ascending toward Apres Vous Peak. Below the slopes, the Jackson Hole valley floor is dominated by the braided channels of the Snake River, bordered by the expansive reaches of Grand Teton National Park and the Teton National Forest.

The survey highlights the intersection of protected wilderness and local community, documenting the small settlement of Wilson and the National Elk Refuge near East Gros Ventre Butte. The transition from the rugged canyons of Phillips Canyon and Granite Creek Canyon to the valley floor is clearly delineated, showing the path of the Moose Wilson Road as it connects the high alpine terrain to the surrounding ranching and recreational lands.
