About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of Caribou County, where the high-elevation landscape is defined by deep basins and prominent ridges. The area’s water sources are concentrated at Donetree Spring and Goodheart Spring, feeding into drainage systems like Dry Valley Cr and Goodheart Cr. These features indicate the critical role of seasonal water in this high-country environment, supporting both the forest ecosystem and likely historical grazing or mining access.

Transportation through this terrain is maintained via a network of forest roads, including Caribou NF Rd 122 and Slug Creek Rd. The map details significant landforms such as Wolf Mtn, Schmid Ridge, and Dry Ridge, while lower-lying areas like Green Basin and Huckleberry Basin highlight the variation in local topography. This 2017 survey provides a high-resolution look at the geographic features within the township and range boundaries of T8S R44E and T9S R44E.
