Work and settlement beneath the snowline
The town of Jackson was named in late 1893 by Margaret Simpson, who, at the time, was receiving mail at her home as there was no post office.

ACCESS CHANGES
A route reaches Jackson Hole
The surviving overview does not identify one decisive access date for Jackson Hole.
This edition therefore leaves that date open rather than turning gradual change into a false single event.

ORGANISED SPORT
Winter becomes organised
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort opened in the 1960s at Teton Village, turning a ranching valley into one of North America’s best-known steep-skiing destinations.
THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Jackson Hole is recorded at 43.588° N, 110.828° W. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,185 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
