About this map

Elkhorn Peak and Elkhorn Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Oneida and Bannock Counties. The drainage systems are clearly defined by numerous named features, including Indian Mill Cr and Mill Cr, which carve through deep incisions like North Canyon and South Canyon. The presence of the Caribou National Forest suggests a region primarily dedicated to timber and watershed protection, while the complex network of canyons like Limekiln Canyon and Danish Canyon indicates a deeply eroded mountain front.

Hydrological data is particularly dense here, noting several crucial water sources such as Bissell Spring, Station Spring, and Secret Spring. These water points, along with Old Canyon Meadow and the Summit Campground, point to the area's utility for grazing and backcountry recreation. In the southwest corner, the terrain drops toward the Malad Valley, where the Little Malad River begins to collect the runoff from the surrounding peaks and canyons.
