About this map

Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape of this Caribou County region, where the marshy waters of Grays Lake meet the foothills of the Grays Range. The small settlement of Wayan sits at a crossroads near the eastern edge of the wetlands, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and timber country. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges and valleys, including Little Gray Ridge and the Wooley Range, which flank the agricultural corridor of Clark Valley and Enoch Valley.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are central to the area's character, with the Little Blackfoot River and Sheep Creek carving through the highlands of the Caribou National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Henry Peak and Rasmussen Ridge provide significant elevation, while man-made designations like Henry's Boundary and the network of forest roads, including Henry Cutoff Rd, illustrate the long-standing intersection of private land use and federal conservation efforts in the Idaho high country.
