About this map

Lakeview serves as the primary human settlement in this high-altitude landscape, situated along S Valley Rd between the expansive wetlands of the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a dramatic topographical transition where the valley floor, home to Lower Red Rock Lake and Upper Red Rock Lake, meets the rising peaks of the Centennial Mountains. The Continental Divide snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle, marking the hydrological boundary along the crest of the Western Centennial Mountains and Eastern Centennial Mountains.

South of the divide, the terrain descends into the Targhee National Forest, where smaller alpine water bodies like Aldous Lake and Walking Fish Lake are tucked into the drainages of Ching Creek and W Dry Cr. The map preserves the routes of early access trails, including the Sparrow Pond Trail and Odell Trail, which navigate the steep slopes leading up to prominent landmarks such as Slide Mountain and Baldy Mtn.
