2017 Map of Targhee Pass

About this map

Targhee Pass serves as a critical geographic gateway along the Continental Divide, where the high-altitude terrain of the Henrys Lake Mountains meets the state border. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including Targhee Cr and Tygee Cr, which carve through the high country of the Targhee National Forest and Gallatin National Forest. To the south, the settlement of Island Park sits near the Henry's Lake Flat, a broad basin containing Henrys Lake and its associated infrastructure like the Henry's Lake Airport and the Targhee Cem. The map illustrates the intersection of recreation and utility, showing established camps near Howard Spring and Mountain Springs alongside the remote peaks of Bald Peak and Mt Two Top. The placement of Lionhead near the northern boundary highlights the region's prominence as a high-elevation junction for travelers crossing between Idaho and Montana.
