2000 Map of Latham Spring

About this map

The Continental Divide forms a dramatic boundary along this mountainous border region of Idaho and Montana at the turn of the millennium. Within the Targhee National Forest, the landscape is defined by deep drainages like Black Canyon and Middle Fork Canyon. Numerous water sources punctuate the terrain, from the curiously named Lucky Dog Spring and Thirsty Creek to the clustered Latham Springs. The map reveals the administrative presence of the Island Park Ashton Ranger District, indicating the managed nature of this wilderness. The drainage patterns of Moose Creek, Chick Creek, and the Middle Fork Chick Creek show the complex watershed of the High Rockies during a period of modern forest management.
