This graphic map of the Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons area was "made on purpose" by Jolly Lindgren. Filled with humorous text and illustrations, the map captures the charm of the region with phrases like "It's the Old West (Except The Plumbing)", "It's The Tallest Hole I've Ever Seen", and a compass rose that is "But Mostly Up." Numerous elk hide amongst the mountain peaks, including one who's "Brother is in the Elks Club in Billings", and a legend identifies lakes, trees, dude ranches, and good fishing everywhere!
The Lindgren brothers of Spokane, Washington, specialized in humorous maps of both national and state parks.
