About this map

The Targhee National Forest and Kelly Mountain National Forest dominate this 1951 study of the Idaho highlands where Madison and Bonneville counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water sources and steep drainage basins, including the various branches of Moody Creek and the deep cut of Hawley Gulch. This era of forest management is anchored by the Hawley Gulch Ranger Station, while the extraction history of the region is represented by the Morning Glory Mine located near Windy Ridge.

Remote landmarks like Table Rock, Lookout Mtn, and Poison Flat provide essential orientation for researchers tracing historical grazing paths or mining claims. Numerous water sources, such as Buckhorn Spring and Conner Spring, suggest the critical importance of reliable water for both wildlife and human activity in these high-elevation forest lands before modern infrastructure expanded through the canyon systems.
