About this map

McRenolds Reservoir sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape along the Idaho-Wyoming border, where the headwaters of numerous creeks drain the western slopes of the Teton range. The area is defined by a dense network of forest roads and trails within the Targhee National Forest, including the Jackpine-Pinochle Loop and Tiehack road, which provide access to significant topographic features like Rammell Mtn and Tepee Ridge.

Creek drainages such as Bitch Creek and Bull Elk Cr cut through the terrain, creating named meadows and hollows like Coyote Meadows and Rock Hollow. This 2017 survey documents the modern management of this backcountry, tracing the legacy of earlier land use through labels such as Briggs Cabin and the small settlement at Juniper. The map captures a transition from the lower Woodland Hills Rd to the high ridgelines of Hovermale Ridge.
