About this map

Grays Lake Dam and Enders Dam control the local waterways in this pocket of Caribou County, where the high-altitude terrain of the Grays Range meets expansive valleys. The small settlement of Wayan sits near the junction of Gravel Creek and Harrison Creek, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction. Significant land use is evident at the Henry Strip Mine in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the industrial footprint on the region's geography.

Water and topography dictate the movement of roads like Wayan Loop W and Long Valley RD, which navigate through Clark Valley, Enoch Valley, and Long Valley. The drainage of the Little Blackfoot River and Sheep Creek creates a network of canyons, such as Reservoir Canyon and Reese Canyon, while Henry Peak and Little Gray Ridge provide prominent landmarks for those tracking historical land boundaries and seasonal grazing routes.
