About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of Bonneville County, where the high-altitude terrain of the Caribou Range creates a complex system of ridges and basins. The central geological spine is defined by Commissary Ridge, which stands as a prominent divide between the drainages of Fall Creek and Bear Cr. The land use here is characterized by resource management and recreational access, reflected in the system of forest routes like Skyline Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 017 Rd.

Evidence of seasonal travel and distinct localized naming is found in features like Fourth of July Ridge, Deadhorse Ridge, and Mahogany Ridge. The watershed is particularly intricate, with the Fall Creek Basin collecting numerous tributaries including Trap Cr, Huskin Cr, and Willow Springs Cr. This survey captures a landscape of significant elevation changes and remote forest corridors, highlighting the geographic isolation of the eastern Idaho backcountry.
