1980 Map of Elk Valley

About this map

Gannett Hills dominate the terrain of this high-country survey along the Idaho-Wyoming border, where the Caribou National Forest meets the Bridger National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Sage Creek, Crow Creek, and a series of numbered drainages from First Spring Creek to Sixth Creek. This area was primarily utilized for resource management and backcountry transit, evidenced by the numerous pack trails and jeep trails that navigate the ridges between landmarks like The Pinnacle and Clover Knoll. A single Drill Hole and a label for a Driveway near the southern boundary represent the few signs of human development in this remote mountainous region, which straddles Caribou, Lincoln, and Bear Lake counties.
