2013 Map of Sheridan Reservoir

About this map

The Centennial Mountains define the northern horizon of this landscape, where the Targhee National Forest straddles the high ground above the Upper Snake River Plain. Centered on Sheridan Reservoir, the topography transitions from the dramatic elevations of Sheridan Ridge down into the drainage basins of Sheridan Cr and Kick Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness interface where forest service routes like Yale Kilgore Rd and Taylor Creek Rd provide access to the high backcountry. The map documents the boundary between Clark and Fremont counties, following the southern edge of the forest. The presence of Old Highway 22 tracing the lower elevations suggests earlier trans-mountain travel corridors that predated more modern alignments. The drainage network, including Mud Cr and E Fork Sheridan Cr, underscores the hydrologic importance of this watershed for the surrounding agricultural valleys.
