It is federally owned and managed by the National Park Service by Grand Teton National Park. It is named in remembrance of John D.

Created in 1972 through the authorization of the United States Congress, and consisting of 24,000 acres, it also borders National Forest lands and is an integral part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
