About this map

The Snake River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Bonneville County, defining a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and isolated riparian flats. Large portions of the terrain are managed as part of the Targhee National Forest, where the river creates fertile pockets of land such as Fisher Bottom and Lufkin Bottom. These low-lying areas contrast sharply with the surrounding uplands, including Wheaton Mtn and the broad expanse of Antelope Flat.

Hydrographic features are central to the area's character, with several named water sources like Warm Springs and Water Crest Spring emerging from the canyon walls. The complex drainage network is evidenced by numerous side canyons, including Black Canyon, Sweetwater Canyon, and Ladder Canyon. Transportation is limited to a few key routes like E Heise Rd and Antelope Flat Rd, reflecting the territory's primary use for timber, grazing, and watershed protection.
