About this map

Henrys Lake anchors this high-elevation region where the border between Idaho and Montana follows the crest of the Continental Divide. The map details a landscape transition from the expansive water of the lake to the prominent heights of Targhee Peak and Black Mtn. Human settlement is concentrated primarily along the northern shoreline and through the mountain passes, characterized by established properties like the Wild Rose Ranch, Johnson Ranch, and Webster Ranch.

Strategic travel routes through this alpine terrain are defined by Raynolds Pass, which facilitates movement between the Island Park Ranger District and the northern forests. The area is notable for its water resources, including the Fish Hatchery near Staley Springs and numerous mountain drainages such as Timber Creek and Gillian Creek. These features reflect a late 20th-century landscape managed for recreation and natural resources across the Targhee National Forest, Gallatin National Forest, and Beaverhead National Forest.
