About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of the Idaho highlands, where the boundary between Bannock and Power counties cuts through a complex network of canyons and ridgelines. The small settlement of Crystal sits along Mid Crystal Creek Rd in the southwest, serving as a gateway to the steep drainages of Bull Canyon and the headwaters of Clifton Creek. The landscape is defined by an extensive system of forest trails and primitive roads, including the Slate Mountain Trl and Valve House-Pima Trl, which navigate the high ground near Slate Mtn and Scout Mountain.

In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, Justice Park provides a point of interest near Valve House Draw and South Fork Mink Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern recreation and grazing infrastructure of the region, from the riparian corridors of Corral Creek to the open grazing lands of Elk Meadows. The map captures the current state of back-country access, marking critical routes like the Bannock Hwy and various forest service connectors.
