2023 Map of Conant Valley

About this map

The Snake River winds through the heart of this Idaho landscape, carving a fertile corridor between the high peaks of the Caribou Range and the Pine Creek Bench. Centered on the settlement of Swan Valley, the area is defined by the sharp transition from the irrigated riverside flats of Antelope Flat to the dense timber of the Caribou National Forest. A complex network of drainage systems, including Pritchard Creek and Fall Creek, feeds into the river, creating the distinct geography of Conant Valley and Staffel Island. The mountain terrain is crisscrossed by established tracks such as the Deadhorse Ridge Trl and Pritchard Creek Cutoff Trl, reflecting a landscape managed for both timber and recreation. Local history and genealogy researchers can trace named landmarks like Mineral Springs and the sheltered hollows of Indian Camp Hollow, which reveal the long-standing human presence in these remote canyons.
