About this map

Targhee National Forest defines this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the northern rim of the Island Park Caldera transitions into a network of steep canyons and timbered ridges. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Buffalo River and Warm River, with numerous tributaries such as Fish Creek, Moose Creek, and the multi-branched Split Creek cutting through the volcanic terrain.

Logistics and water management are evident through named forest infrastructure like Latham Springs road and the Log Haul No 4 route, which facilitate movement through the dense forest. High-elevation flats like Chick Cr Flat and deep incisions such as Black Canyon and Trail Canyon illustrate the geological complexity of this corner of Fremont County. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural hydrology and national forest management at the turn of the 21st century.
