About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this section of Clark County, where a complex network of canyons and gulches carves through the high Idaho terrain. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including Boulder Spring, Shamrock Spring, and the tiered Upper Crystal and Lower Crystal Springs. These vital points, along with Warm Springs Cr, have historically supported the movement of people and livestock through this part of the Bitterroot Range.

Transportation through the area follows the natural topography, with routes like Crooked Creek Rd and Buckhorn Canyon Rd skirting features such as Horse Ridge and Maud Mtn. From the depths of Black Horse Canyon to the narrow passage at Devils Gap, the map reveals a rugged land used for forestry and grazing. Genealogists and historians can trace the naming of local landmarks like Anderson Gulch, Campbell Gulch, and Fulwider Gulch, which often reflect the early families and homesteaders of the region.
