About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, where the high ground is carved by a complex network of drainages including Kelly Canyon and the North Fork Snaky Canyon. The terrain transitions from these timbered uplands down toward the agricultural plains of the Snake River Valley, marked by the prominent height of Rattlesnake Point.

Evidence of water management is visible in the lower elevations with the Reno Ditch, which follows the contours of the land near Reno Gulch. This interplay between the rugged slopes of Snaky Canyon and the irrigation infrastructure below illustrates the local adaptation to this arid environment. Transportation through the area is primarily facilitated by primitive routes like Snaky Canyon Rd and Attkins Rd, which provide access across the county line between Clark and Jefferson.
