1964 Map of Targhee Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Targhee Pass serves as a critical geographic marker where the Continental Divide meets the boundary between Idaho and Montana. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the massive watersheds of Henrys Lake and Hebgen Lake, connected by a network of drainage systems including Howard Creek and Targhee Creek. The 1964 survey captures a moment of emerging recreation at the Lionhead Ski Area and local traveler services at the Howard Spring Wayside. To the southwest, the quiet presence of Targhee Cemetery and a nearby Gravel Pit near the edge of the lake flats indicate the localized human footprint within the larger protected expanses of the Targhee National Forest and Gallatin National Forest. Steep ridges like Mount Two Top and Bald Peak dominate the topography, illustrating the challenging terrain that dictated early pack trails and road placement through the mountains.
