About this map

Targhee National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the drainage network of the Warm River Butte region is meticulously charted. The terrain is characterized by a complex system of waterways, including Moose Creek, Robinson Creek, and the North Fork Fish Creek, alongside numerous named springs such as Horsefly Spring and Bear Spring. The presence of Barrow Pit suggests localized resource extraction within the forest boundaries.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this topography, with Warm River Spring and Fish Creek Spring serving as key points of interest. The map detail highlights unique landforms like Twisted Draw, Huckleberry Ridge, and Rising Butte, providing a comprehensive look at the wilderness before later development or environmental shifts. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the seasonal water distribution and historical grazing or hunting geography of Fremont County.
