About this map

Bannock Peak and the high ridges of the Deep Creek Mountains dominate this 1970s landscape along the Fort Hall Indian Reservation Boundary. The survey reveals a network of canyons and hollows defined by seasonal water and topographical landmarks, including Pete Lish Canyon, Waylett Hollow, and Stump Canyon. Water management is evident through features like the Upper Stump Canyon Reservoir and a solitary Prospect located near the South Fork Canyon, indicating small-scale exploration in the high country.

Transportation through this high-elevation terrain is limited to primitive routes like the Sawmill Cr Trail and numerous unnamed jeep trails. These paths connect isolated water sources such as Bannock Spring, Cabin Springs, and Dry Hollow Spring. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns of Squaw Creek and the numerous forks that feed into the larger canyon systems, capturing the area before modern development altered its remote character.
