About this map

Clarkston sits at the foot of the mountains on the Utah-Idaho border, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and canyon lands. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the Caribou National Forest and toward the peak of Clarkston Mtn, where numerous drainages like New Quigley Canyon and Raglanite Canyon have shaped the rugged terrain. These canyons feed into the valley floor, supporting water sources such as Thompson Spring and Kinnikinick Spring.

The local history of the area is anchored by the Clarkston City Cem and the James Barnet Cole Burial Ground, providing specific points of interest for genealogists. Water management is a defining characteristic of the eastern valley, evidenced by the Newton Reservoir and the marshy expanse of The Slough. A network of rural routes, including Dirty Head Rd and Harts Gravel Rd, connects the scattered hollows and flats that define this borderland community.
