2011 Map of Buist

About this map

Buist occupies a high-elevation drainage where local transit networks meet at the crossroads of Buist Rd and N Arbon Valley Rd. This upland Idaho landscape is defined by the headwaters of Deep Creek and Bannock Creek, which carve through the terrain as it rises toward the eastern peaks. The map details a complex system of canyon routes and passes, including Jensen Pass and the winding South Fork Sublette Canyon, which likely served as vital connectors for ranching or transport in this sparsely settled region. Evidence of essential water sources for livestock or early settlers is found in the locations of Petit Spring and Taylor Spring. A grid of named thoroughfares like N Bull Canyon Rd and Old Sublette Rd reveals how modern infrastructure follows the natural contours of the canyons and ridgelines.
