1964 Map of Targhee Pass

About this map

The Continental Divide carves through the high country where the Henrys Lake Mountains straddle the state line between Idaho and Montana. This mid-1960s survey captures a landscape of intense relief and seasonal activity, anchored by the critical crossing at Targhee Pass. On the western slopes, the drainage of West Targhee Creek and its Dry Fork descend toward the flats of Henrys Lake, while the eastern terrain drops toward Hebgen Lake. Human presence is marked by a network of trails and jeep trails servicing remote peaks like Bald Peak and Mount Two Top. Significant local landmarks include the Targhee Cem and the Howard Spring Wayside, while a ski lift near Lionhead indicates the mid-century development of alpine recreation in the Gallatin and Targhee National Forests.
