About this map

Caribou Mtn dominates the high country of eastern Idaho at the intersection of Bonneville and Caribou counties. This 2020 edition reveals a landscape defined by its mining and forestry history, featuring the Caribou Mountain Mine Trail and the historic Caribou City-Morgan Meadows route. The peaks and drainage basins of the Caribou National Forest are meticulously mapped, showing the intricate network of watercourses like N Fork Eagle Creek and Tincup Creek that flow from these summits.

On the western edge, the map transitions into the Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge, where the high-altitude terrain levels out toward the valley floor. High meadows such as Morgan Meadow and deep recesses like Anderson Gulch provide insight into the seasonal geography of the region. This modern topographic record is essential for understanding the contemporary state of these protected lands and the enduring trails that serve as remnants of the area's resource extraction era.
