About this map

Almo serves as a gateway to the high-elevation landscape of the Albion Mountains, where granite spires and monoliths define the terrain of the City of Rocks National Reserve. The map details a complex geological and historical corridor, tracing the natural passage through Emigrant Canyon and over Pinnacle Pass. These features were significant landmarks for travelers moving through the Upper Raft River Valley, with specific formations like Register Rock and Bath Rock noted alongside the more utilitarian Parking Lot Rock.

To the north, the Sawtooth National Forest encompasses prominent summits including Graham Peak and Granite Peak. The drainage patterns of Almo Cr and the Raft River illustrate the hydrology that sustained early ranching and settlement in this corner of Cassia County. From the singular formations of the Bread Loaves to the heights of Smoky Mtn, the sheet documents a rugged intersection of federal forest land, national reserve, and small-town Idaho life.
