About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Clark County, defined by a complex system of drainages and historical passage. The geographic prominence of Black Mtn stands as a central landmark, overlooking the deep incisions of Heart Canyon and the broad expanse of Slate Basin. This terrain is historically significant for its role in western migration, as evidenced by the preserved route of the Emigrant Trail and its modern counterpart, Emigrant Trail Rd, winding through the mountain passes.

Water sources are scattered across the peaks and valleys, from the remote Antelope Lakes to the seasonal flow of Webber Creek and McNeary Creek. In the southeastern portion of the sheet, the presence of Warm Springs and Warm Springs Creek suggests geothermal activity typical of this region. The map also traces a network of backcountry paths, including the Webber Creek - Divide Creek Trl and Myers Creek Trl, which connect high ridges and isolated gulches.
