About this map

Island Park Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a significant hydrologic feature where the waters meet the lower reaches of Shotgun Valley. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage, with Icehouse Creek, Sheridan Creek, and Sheep Creek carving through the high country. Much of the northern and southernmost sectors are protected within the Targhee National Forest, where steep timbered slopes give way to the more open, marshy valley floors.

Transportation through this high-altitude region is limited to several Jeep Trails, indicating the area's isolation and primary use for timber or seasonal grazing. Specific water control points are noted at Spillway Elevation 6302 and Spillway Elev 6303, which manage the reservoir's levels. The boundary between Clark and Fremont Counties runs through the western portion of the map, cutting across the drainages of Keg Spring and Blind Creek.
