About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, defined by the dramatic descent of Henrys Fork through the volcanic terrain of eastern Idaho. The river’s course is punctuated by significant landmarks including Upper Mesa Falls, Lower Mesa Falls, and the Grandview Overlook. To the east, the Warm River valley supports local infrastructure such as the Warm River Fish Hatchery and the Bear Gulch Ski Area.

Evidence of the region's industrial and recreational utility is visible along the Union Pacific rail line, which follows the river corridor near Gerrit. Traces of earlier development appear at Anderson Mill on Big Bend Ridge, while the landscape is further marked by high points like Snake River Butte and Elk Butte. Small-scale resource extraction is noted at the Bear Gulch Gravel Pit, supporting the remote road network of this timbered highland.
