About this map

Reservoir Mountain dominates the center of this landscape, its steep slopes descending eastward into the Blackfoot River Reservoir. This high-altitude basin in Caribou County shows a shoreline shaped by the constriction of The Narrows, where the water transitions between broader reaches. Human activity is largely limited to recreation and resource extraction, evidenced by Hopkins Landing on the southeastern shore and various prospects and a Gravel Pit scattered across the uplands.

Thermal activity is prominent in the southern portion of the quadrangle, with Hot Springs and numerous springs feeding into drainage networks like Indian Creek and Corral Creek. To the north, the reservoir is dotted with named landforms such as Split Island, Cormorant Island, and Chicken Point. The presence of 4 WD tracks suggests a remote backcountry environment primarily used for ranching and water management during the early 1980s.
