1964 Map of Targhee Pass

About this map

Targhee Pass serves as a critical high-mountain crossing along the Continental Divide, where the borders of Gallatin and Fremont Counties meet at the Montana-Idaho state line. This mid-1960s survey captures the landscape of the Gallatin Mountains during an era of expanding alpine recreation and transit, evidenced by the Lionhead Ski Area and the Howard Spring Wayside rest area. The topography is defined by the headwaters of the Henry's Lake basin, with Howard Creek and Dry Creek draining toward the expansive lake visible in the southwest corner.
