A Closer Look
The town of Jackson, Wyoming, occupies most of the foreground, with hotels, restaurants, shops, and more illustrated in profile. 'Signs' label businesses that occupy the same building, such as the Trading Post Mall and Cache Creek Square. Other locations are numerically marked and correspond with the business directory on the verso. The Rocky Mountains occupy the background, with Teton Village, Spring Creek Ranch, and Wagon Wheel Village illustrated.
Verso Content
A local business directory occupies most of the verso, and advertisements create a border. A highway map of Jackson Hole situates the city in relation to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park.

Cartographer


Chris King (fl. 1980 - present) began publishing the Jackson Hole Picture Map in 1980 from his commercial art studio in Aspen, Colorado. He bought the Aspen Picture Map in 1982 (the map was first issued in 1974) and completely overhauled the publication. The maps are updated annually and are published by King Picture Maps, Inc.
