About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the high country of the Teton and Fremont county lines meets the Idaho-Wyoming border. The drainage network is complex, defined by Bitch Creek and its many tributaries, including Jackpine Creek and Morris Creek. A small water storage feature, McRenolds Reservoir, sits at the head of a drainage system, surrounded by high-elevation landmarks like Tepee Mountain and Coyote Meadows.

Access to this wilderness is documented through a network of primitive routes such as the De Coster Road, Mountain Road, and several miles of Pack Trail and Jeep Trail. Topographical features like Pinochle Ridge and Hovermale Ridge illustrate the steep, dissected nature of the terrain. The presence of Badger Spring and Windmill indicate the remote resources utilized in this high-altitude forest environment before modern development intensified.
