About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Clark County, characterized by a complex drainage network that defines the region's topography. The namesake Thunder Gulch carves through the southern portion of the sheet, served by the eponymous Thunder Gulch Rd. This area is a critical watershed where numerous streams, including Lava Cr, Cow Cr, and the various branches of Cottonwood Cr, descend from the timbered heights toward the valley floor.

Water resources are the primary landmarks here, with Hoolie Springs providing a rare named point of interest in the western sections. The map reveals the intricate forest management system through designated routes like Nat For Dev Rd 323 and Zweifel Rd, which provide access to the remote sections of the Targhee National Forest. This 2013 survey serves as a clear record of the backcountry infrastructure and natural drainage patterns in this corner of Idaho.
