About this map

Warm River and the neighboring agricultural settlements of Grainville and Drummond define this portion of Fremont County in the mid-1960s. The landscape is a complex network of water management, where the Henrys Fork and Falls River are supplemented by an intricate system of man-made waterways including the Reclamation Canal, Marysville Canal, and Yellowstone Canal. This infrastructure highlights the region's transition from the wilder timberlands of the Targhee National Forest in the north to the productive grain-growing plains in the south.

Evidence of the local agrarian economy is prominent, from the grain elevators along the Union Pacific railroad line to the Squirrel Cemetery and nearby Stephens Fish Cr Ranch. The map also captures mid-century recreation and land use, featuring the Warm River Campground and the Aspen Acres Golf Club. A mix of jeep trails and established roads connects these rural outposts, reflecting the area's development as both a farming hub and a gateway to the Idaho wilderness.
