About this map

Henrys Lake and its western shoreline dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Idaho and Montana. The map illustrates a region where ranching and conservation intersect, featuring established properties like the Wild Rose Ranch, Webster Ranch, and Johnson Ranch. At the lake's edge, the Henrys Lake Fish Hatchery and Staley Springs highlight the importance of water resources in the area.

The terrain rises sharply from the Henrys Lake Flat toward the continental divide, marked by Reynolds Pass and the towering Targhee Peak. This intersection of three national forests—Gallatin National Forest, Beaverhead National Forest, and Targhee National Forest—creates a complex jurisdictional boundary. Traces of early accessibility are visible through features like Schoolhouse Canyon and the winding course of State Hwy 87, which follows the natural passage through the mountains toward Montana.
