2023 Map of Bancroft

About this map

The high mountain basins and valley floors of Caribou and Bannock County meet in this topographic survey, centered on the historic agricultural hub of Bancroft. The town layout is clearly defined along Old Hwy 30 and the railroad corridor, while the small settlement of Lund sits to the south in Gem Valley. This landscape is defined by its water management and varied terrain, from the West Branch Canal irrigation network to the high elevations of Petticoat Peak and Buckskin Mtn. Local family history is preserved through numerous named sites, including the Old Lund Pioneer Cemetery and Bancroft Cemetery. The western portion of the map is dominated by the steep slopes of the Fish Creek Range, featuring several named water sources like Milkshake Spring and School House Spring, which have long supported the region's ranching and homesteading operations.
