1988 Map of Ennis Lake

About this map

Ennis Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, its western shores marked by the small settlement of McAllister and its eastern banks rising toward the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. The Madison River feeds the lake from the south, branching into the complex Fletcher Channel Madison River through low-lying wetlands before being funneled into the narrow, steep-walled Bear Trap Canyon to the north. This 1980s landscape reflects a mix of recreation and resource management, evidenced by the Meadow Lake Recreation Site and the Ennis Lake Recreation Site, alongside irrigation infrastructure like the West Madison Canal and Moore Ditch. Local history is captured in family-named landmarks such as Jourdain Creek and Jack Creek, while a Cem and Mine Shaft provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking early land use in Madison County.
