About this map

Caribou Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Bonneville County, where the mining legacy of the Caribou District remains etched into the terrain. Two notable sites, the Monte Cristo Mine and Evergreen Mine, are located on the western slopes, reflecting the area's history of extraction. The settlement of Caribou City sits to the northeast along Bilk Creek, serving as a central point for a network of forest roads like the Caribou City Rd.

A complex drainage system defines the geography here, with water moving through North Fork Eagle Creek, Jackknife Creek, and the expansive Tincup Creek basin. The presence of Morgan Meadow suggests the varied ecological pockets found within the forest, while the inclusion of the Caribou NF Rd 117 and Natl Forest Develop Road 189 Rd highlights the continued significance of the Caribou National Forest infrastructure in managing this territory.
