About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this section of Clark County, defined by a complex network of high peaks and drainage basins documented in the early 1970s. The landscape is structured by deep canyons and prominent summits including Signal Peak, Castle Peak, and the namesake Lookout Point. Natural movement through the high country is indicated by several established routes such as the Pass Creek Trail and Lone Pine Pass.

Resource extraction and backcountry exploration are evident across the terrain. Near the southern boundary, Opal Mountain overlooks a cluster of Open Pit Mines and various scattered prospects, suggesting the area's geological value during this era. Multiple branches of West Fork Camas Creek and the forks of Threemile Creek carve through the forest, while remote facilities like Steel Creek Campground provide rare points of human infrastructure in an otherwise primitive wilderness setting.
