About this map

The Island Park Dam controls the vast waters of the Island Park Reservoir in this high-altitude landscape of Fremont County. The terrain is defined by the massive Island Park Caldera and the towering Eastern Centennial Mountains to the north. Water dominates the geography, with the Henrys Fork river winding through the center, transitioning from the turbulent Coffee Pot Rapids into the reservoir and southward through Box Canyon.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around the water's edge, notably on I P Bills Island and the community of Island Park near the Buffalo River confluence. Much of the surrounding land is protected as part of the Targhee National Forest. The road network, including Kilgore Yale Rd and Bishop Mountain Rd, provides access through the complex topography of Shotgun Valley and across the ridgelines of Thurmon Ridge.
