About this map

Little Malad Spring and the headwaters of Dairy Creek define the high-country hydrology of this Idaho landscape during the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent drainage systems, including Harold Johns Canyon and Mine Canyon, which cut through the mountain slopes. The eastern boundary of the map follows the edge of the Caribou National Forest, where the land rises toward the divide between Oneida and Bannock counties.

Industrial and transit history is recorded through scattered Gravel Pit locations and a traditional Pack Trail winding through the western hills. Named landmarks like Tom Perry Canyon and Indian Mill Creek reflect local family associations and early resource use, such as milling or grazing, that shaped the development of this rural interior. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Power and Oneida counties, providing a precise look at these remote administrative borders.
