About this map

Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape of this region, preserving a unique high-elevation wetland ecosystem around Grays Lake. The settlement of Wayan sits at the edge of this transition where water meets land, serving as a gateway to the mountainous terrain to the south and east. The map illustrates a complex network of valleys and ridges, including Clark Valley and Enoch Valley, which are framed by the prominent Grays Range and the Wooley Range to the southwest.

Industry and land use are reflected in the access roads that penetrate the Caribou National Forest, such as Caribou NF Rd 355 and Gravel Creek Rd. These routes follow the natural drainages of the Little Blackfoot River and Gravel Cr, linking high peaks like Henry Peak with the lower ranching and conservation lands. The cartography provides a clear picture of the hydrological divide between the lake's basin and the flowing waters of Olsen Cr and Sheep Cr further south.
