2017 Map of Sheep Falls

About this map

Targhee National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the Idaho and Wyoming border, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent. The map illustrates a complex drainage network including the Fall River and its many tributaries such as Boone Creek and Conant Creek. The terrain is marked by significant open spaces like Squirrel Meadows and the Wyoming Creek Breaks, which transition into water-rich basins containing Swan Lake, Indian Lake, and Widgit Lake. This 2017 edition documents the modern forest infrastructure, tracing the route of the Ashton-Flagg Ranch road and the Jackass Loop trail. The absence of major settlements highlights the remote character of this wilderness area near Cave Falls, preserved primarily for its natural features and hydrographic importance.
