1980 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn sits at the edge of the Valley floor in this 1980 survey, where the State Line separates Wyoming from Idaho. The landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural land and Gravel Pits in the east to the densely wooded slopes of the Caribou National Forest in the west. This area preserves a segment of the historic Lander Cutoff, a vital route for 19th-century emigrants, which runs through the drainage of Emigrant Creek. To the south, specialized land use is evident at the Fish Hatchery near The Falls on Webster Canyon. The map reveals an intricate network of specialized paths such as the Pack Trail and Horse Pack Trail that navigate through deep drainages like Hyde Canyon and North Pack Canyon, supporting forestry and recreational access near the Stump Creek Guard Station.
