About this map

McRenolds Reservoir and the surrounding high-altitude drainage systems of Targhee National Forest dominate this landscape along the Idaho-Wyoming border. The terrain is defined by complex water systems, including the headwaters of Bitch Creek, Bull Elk Cr, and Swanner Cr, which carve through ridges such as Tepee Ridge and Hovermale Ridge. Small-scale human presence is marked by the Decoster settlement and the Briggs Cabin landmark, suggesting a history of seasonal ranching, forestry, or recreation in this alpine environment.

Transportation in this area relies on a network of specialized routes, from the Jackpine Pinchle Loop to the W Rammell Mountain Rd. The map reveals the intricate surveying of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, capturing geographical points like Rammell Mtn and the isolated Juniper locality. This topography provides a clear view of the transition between the Coyote Meadows and the steep descents into Pole Canyon.
