About this map

Henrys Fork snakes through the northern reaches of this landscape, a prominent waterway that has shaped the geography of the Targhee National Forest for generations. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and ridges, most notably Big Bend Ridge and the heights of Lookout Butte. The land's history as a resource for local communities is evidenced by the presence of Free Use Canyon Number 1 and Free Use Canyon Number 2, alongside numerous canyons such as Anderson Mill Canyon and Jump Off Canyon.

Transportation through this high country is anchored by US Hwy 20 and the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway, while a network of forest roads like Hatchery Ford Rd and Rattlesnake Rd provide access to the interior. These routes trace the path of historic movement through the Fremont County timber and ranching lands, connecting the seasonal waters of Willow Cr and Strong Cr to the more permanent flow of the river.
