2017 Map of Icehouse Creek

About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this Idaho high-country landscape, where the southern slopes of the Centennial Mountains descend into the broad Shotgun Valley. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the eponymous Icehouse Cr and Sheridan Cr, which feed the sprawling Island Park Reservoir at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Human activity in this portion of Fremont County is concentrated along historic transit routes such as the Kilgore-Yale road and Old Kilgore Rd. Evidence of resource extraction appears at the Willow Creek Pit, while named locations like Bishop-Burn and Blind Willow provide specific landmarks for local historical research. The transition from high mountain peaks to the reservoir shoreline illustrates the complex hydrology of the region.
