About this map

Targhee National Forest and Gallatin National Forest dominate this high-country terrain along the border of Idaho and Montana. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and dramatic geology, specifically the northern reaches of the Island Park Caldera. High-elevation flats like Chick Cr Flat are interspersed between steep drainages such as Black Canyon and Trail Canyon.

A network of forest roads, including Tie No 1 and Log Haul No 4, suggests the historic and ongoing importance of timber management in this region. Water is the primary sculptor of the land here, with Latham Spring and Latham Springs feeding into an intricate system of streams including Moose Cr, Chick Cr, and several forks of Split Cr. The presence of the Dugway Fork-Split Creek further illustrates the rugged nature of the watercourses that eventually contribute to the Warm River.
