About this map

The Portneuf Range defines the high-altitude landscape of this Idaho interior, where the Caribou National Forest covers much of the terrain. This drainage basin is characterized by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waters, including the Portneuf River and several namesake canyons such as Bear Camp Gulch and Hornet Canyon. The map reveals a land managed for its natural resources and watershed value, indicated by numerous watering points like King Creek Spring, Big Spring, and the high-elevation Horse Lakes.

Access through these steep divides is maintained by a series of forestry roads, including the Toponce Canyon Rd and Pebble Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the creeks. For local historians and geographers, the map traces the intersection of public lands across Bannock County and Caribou County, showing the intricate relationship between the canyon topography and the early transit routes through Wood Road Gulch and Gooding Canyon.
