About this map

The Targhee National Forest dominates this volcanic landscape, where the geological remnants of the Henrys Fork Caldera and Island Park Caldera shape the surrounding terrain. High points like Bishop Mtn and Moonshine Mtn overlook a series of broad, open flats such as North Antelope Flat. These plains are essential for local water management, featuring catchments like Sagebrush Spring Reservoir and Wet Weather Reservoir.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is found in the network of specialized routes, including the Lyle Springs Stock Driveway and the Big Bend Ridge Trail. The northern reaches provide recreation at the West End Campground near Green Canyon. This area serves as a critical junction of drainage and topography, where seasonal streams like Blue Cr and Pine Cr flow through deep cuts such as Cooney Canyon.
