About this map

Ennis Lake and the rushing waters of the Madison River dominate this late-twentieth-century landscape in Madison County. The map details a complex hydrologic network including the Fletcher Channel, West Madison Canal, and numerous irrigation ditches that support the valley's ranching and utility needs. Industrial footprints are visible through the Madison Powerplant, multiple Mine Shaft locations, and several Gravel Pit sites.

Settlement is concentrated near the community of McAllister, which sits west of the lake at the base of the rising foothills. The eastern edge of the quadrangle transitions into the protected Lee Metcalf Wilderness, where the river cuts through the steep Bear Trap Canyon. This area is marked by difficult terrain, identified by Rapids and remote 4wd tracks, contrasting with the developed recreation at Meadow Lake Campground.
