About this map

The Lander Cutoff of the Emigrant Trail bisects the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a vital historical corridor for westward travelers. Set within the Caribou National Forest, the terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Webster Range, culminating at Diamond Peak. The survey reveals a complex network of canyons and drainage systems, including Yellowjacket Canyon, Campbell Canyon, and Mill Canyon, which funnel seasonal waters into larger creeks like Stump Creek.

High-altitude landmarks such as Diamond Flat and Upper Diamond Valley reflect the geographic character of this mountain region. The 1980 survey data also details numerous water sources essential for early travel and livestock, from Chicken Spring to Coyote Creek. A system of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides a record of human passage through the dense forest and across the high divides of the range.
