About this map

Henrys Fork and the Buffalo River define this high-altitude landscape in the early twenty-first century, serving as a hub for recreational access and seasonal settlement. The map highlights the intersection of water and transport, with the Island Park Reservoir dominating the western edge and various facilities like the Buffalo River Access Area, Upper Coffee Pot Campground, and Buffalo Campground supporting the area's role as a major gateway for outdoorsmen.

Traces of local history and logistics appear at Macks Inn Post Office and the Island Park Siding railroad point, while established locales like Trude and Elk Creek Ranch mark the human footprint among a dense network of forest roads and snowmobile paths. The hydrography is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of multiple spring-fed streams including Big Springs and Lucky Dog Creek as they feed into the region's prominent river system.
