About this map

Palisades Reservoir dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the confluence of the Snake River, Greys River, and Salt River meets the Idaho-Wyoming border. The water's edge is dotted with recreation and utility sites, including McCoy Creek Campground and a local Gravel Pit. The map captures the early development of Alpine and Alpine Junction, including the location of the Alpine PO and a nearby Landing Strip.

High-country terrain is defined by the intersections of the Targhee National Forest, Caribou National Forest, and Bridger National Forest. Beyond the settled areas and roads, the wilderness remains accessible primarily via a Pack Trail winding through the mountains toward South Fork Indian Creek. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology and early infrastructure of the Star Valley region before significant modern expansion.
