1964 Map of Henrys Lake

About this map

Henrys Lake dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide Trail snakes along the crest of the Gallatin National Forest and Targhee National Forest. The map reflects a mid-20th-century transition between traditional ranching and modern recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Johnson Ranch and Webster Ranch alongside the Lionhead Ski Area and the Island Park Golf Course. Significant landmarks like Targhee Pass and Sawtell Peak define the horizon, while the small settlement of Henry and the Targhee Cem provide a human anchor to this mountain environment. The intricate drainage network, including the Henrys Lake Outlet and Crooked Creek, showcases the hydrography of the Idaho-Montana borderlands during the early 1960s.
