2024 Map of Big Springs

About this map

Henrys Fork snakes through the high-elevation wetlands of this Idaho landscape, providing a critical waterway for the burgeoning settlement at Island Park. The map documents a territory defined by its transition from the shores of Henrys Lake in the northwest to the dense timber of Targhee National Forest in the south. The concentration of ranching and early community development is visible through sites like Mickelson Ranch and Orme Ranch, alongside the Island Park Cem, which serves as a vital marker for local genealogical research.
