2011 Map of Bear Island

About this map

Grays Lake dominates this high-altitude wetlands landscape in Bonneville County, where seasonal waters and marshes surround the distinctive elevations of Bear Island and Bishop Island. The map illustrates a complex hydrological network feeding into the lake, including Willow Creek and Little Valley Creek from the north, and Eagle Creek, Bridge Creek, and Gravel Creek from the east and south. This environment is largely defined by the expanse of the lake bed itself, with very little human infrastructure beyond primary access routes like Grays Lake Rd and West Side Rd. A notable man-made feature, Clarks Cut, is visible in the southwestern corner, suggesting historical water management or drainage efforts in this unique Idaho basin. The sparse distribution of labels emphasizes the protected, natural character of the Grays Lake area in the early 21st century.
