43.5000° N, 110.7500° W, J. D. Love and Howard F. Albee, Geologic Map of the Jackson Quadrangle, Teton County, Wyoming, 1972. Scale: 1:24,000 (shown at full size).

American geologist J. D. Love is a central figure in the history of geological cartography, known for his exemplary fieldwork, surveys, and maps of his native Wyoming. Educated at the University of Wyoming and Yale University, Love worked for the United States Geological Survey. He was commissioned in the 1950s to create the first statewide geological map of Wyoming, standardizing data and representation conventions across a large and complex territory. His Jackson Hole map is considered one of his most significant accomplishments. Historian Alex Maltman elaborates: “The Precambrian rocks that make the spectacular Teton Mountains, back-drop to many a movie; the complicated, still active tectonics; and the intricate terraces of the Snake River have all been subjected to Love’s unrivaled abilities and beautifully recorded in a series of 1:24,000 sheets.”1
