About this map

McRenolds Reservoir sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Targhee National Forest, straddling the border between Idaho and Wyoming. The area is defined by a dense network of drainages including Bitch Creek, Swanner Creek, and Badger Creek, which carve deep canyons between prominent features like Tepee Mountain and Bull Elk Mountain.

Logistics and travel through this mid-1960s wilderness rely on a system of forest tracks and paths, such as the De Coster Trail and the Rim Trail. The map documents localized landmarks critical for navigation or livestock, such as the isolated Windmill near the Idaho-Wyoming line and Badger Spring. The placement of Coyote Meadows in the northeast corner illustrates the high-country basins that punctuate the ridgelines of Juniper Ridge and Wildcat Ridge.
