About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of Bonneville County, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by Big Elk Mountain and Little Elk Mtn. The 2017 survey details a landscape carved by a dense network of watercourses, including McCoy Creek and Clear Creek, which drain the eastern slopes toward the South Fork area. The presence of Caribou Basin and Anderson Gulch indicates the complex topography that has historically influenced travel and land use in this part of the Caribou Range.

Transportation through the forest is documented via several established routes, such as Mc Coy Creek Rd and Brockman Rd. Local history interest is anchored by the Caribou City Rd, which points toward the legacy of early mining activity in the region. Other notable drainage features like Miners Delight Creek and Pole Creek further illustrate the watershed patterns that define this montane environment.
