About this map

The Big Hole Mountains dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Targhee National Forest, where steep canyons and sharp ridges create a complex drainage network. The small settlement of Sam sits in the upper reaches of the forest, surrounded by prominent peaks like Garns Mtn, Ryan Peak, and Mt Manning. The map reveals a landscape defined by seasonal hydrology, including the Packsaddle Spring and numerous forks of Horseshoe Cr and Canyon Cr.

Strategic high points such as Relay Ridge and Monument Peak provide oversight of the surrounding basins, while passes like Blacktail Pass and Piney Pass indicate traditional travel routes through the range. Notable named features like Horse Heaven and Buttermilk Draw suggest early ranching or agricultural use, while the Teton Basin edges into the northeastern corner. The presence of the Old Horseshoe Rd marks a legacy route through the high country between Woods Hollow and the Idaho Ridge.
