About this map

Jackson Lake Lodge serves as a primary hub of activity in this 1960s survey of the northern Teton landscape. The terrain is defined by the significant bodies of water that sit at the base of the mountains, including the large expanse of Two Ocean Lake and Emma Matilda Lake. The presence of Lunch Tree Hill and the adjacent Pilgrim Flats suggests a focus on early tourism and trail access within the Grand Teton National Park and Teton National Forest boundaries.

Backcountry access is documented through established routes like the Rodent Creek Trail and Pilgrim Creek Road. The map also captures specialized land use through labels like Cygnet Pond and the Sewage Disposal Ponds, illustrating the infrastructure required to maintain large-scale park operations. This period represents the landscape before modern backcountry management further restricted or altered these historic pack trails and access roads.
