About this map

Buist occupies a central position within this Idaho landscape, where the drainage of Deep Cr and Bannock Cr shapes the valley floor. The topography is defined by the high elevations of the Pleasantview Hills, which are cut by deep geological features such as Sublette Canyon and its South Fork Sublette Canyon. To the south, the protected expanse of the Curlew National Grassland begins to dominate the terrain, illustrating the region's commitment to conservation and grazing land management.

Transportation through this high-altitude corridor relies on established routes like N Arbon Valley Rd and Jensen Pass Rd, which navigate the various gaps and passes. Natural water sources such as Bettie Spring and Taylor Spring are critical landmarks in this arid environment, likely serving as historic watering points for livestock and travelers moving toward Jensen Pass or navigating the depths of Morgan Jones Canyon.
