About this map

Henrys Lake dominates the southern landscape of this high-altitude region where the borders of Idaho and Montana converge. This 2017 survey documents a complex intersection of three massive protected areas: the Gallatin National Forest, Targhee National Forest, and Beaverhead National Forest. The Continental Divide snakes through the center of the map, separating the high points of the Henrys Lake Mountains and Targhee Peak from the valleys below. Historical transit through this mountain terrain is centered on Raynolds Pass, a critical corridor for travel between the states.

Local settlement and drainage patterns are well-defined, showing the small community at Lake and the expansive Henrys Lake Flat to the southeast. Waterways like Timber Cr and Targhee Cr feed into the lake, while northern features like Edwards Lake and Clark Lake sit perched within the Madison County line. Remote landmarks such as Schoolhouse Canyon and Anthill Spring reflect the localized naming conventions of the high backcountry.
