About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad cuts a north-south line through the timbered terrain. The small settlement at Eccles serves as a focal point along the rail corridor, situated between the prominent heights of Ripley Butte to the north and Eccles Butte to the southeast. The map reveals a land defined by its water sources and volcanic topography, with several namesake buttes and the Warm River providing landmarks for those navigating the forest.

Local infrastructure for forestry and recreation is evident through features like the Hatchery Butte Road and the Pineview Campground. The drainage patterns of Partridge Creek, Survey Draw, and Baker Draw illustrate the watershed's complexity, while isolated water features like Lily Pond and Black Spring offer insight into the specific natural resources available to early visitors and land managers in this part of Fremont County.
