About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of Caribou County, where high ridges and deep basins define the southeastern Idaho landscape. The prominent Dry Ridge and Schmid Ridge run parallel to the eponymous Dry Valley, creating a corridor of drainage that includes Dry Valley Cr and Mabey Cr. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for livestock and wildlife, such as Lonetree Spring and Goodheart Spring, which provide relief in an otherwise high-altitude environment.

Logistics in this portion of the forest are facilitated by named routes like Caribou NF Rd 122 and the Slug Creek To Harrington trail. From the heights of Wolf Mtn down into Huckleberry Basin and Green Basin, the map illustrates a network of canyons including Caldwell Canyon, Mabey Canyon, and Petterson Canyon. This survey captures the detailed topography of the Dry Basin Ridge and the winding course of Slug Cr before it exits the quadrangle.
