About this map

The Snake River cuts through the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, creating a fertile corridor that includes Staffel Island and the broad Conant Valley. This 2020 survey illustrates the meeting of riparian lowlands and the elevated terrain of the Caribou National Forest. Local landmarks like Mineral Springs and Fall Creek Falls indicate the diverse hydrological features of the region, while naming conventions for features such as Antelope Flat and Pine Creek Bench reflect the historical agricultural and grazing use of the river terraces.

Deep canyons and high ridges dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. Features like Mahogany Ridge, Deadhorse Ridge, and Rash Canyon showcase the complex topography south of the river. The settlement of Swan Valley serves as a central point for the local community, connected by the Conant Valley Loop Rd and surrounded by a network of drainage systems including Pritchard Creek and Echo Canyon.
