2017 Map of Elkhorn Peak

About this map

Elkhorn Peak and Kents Peak dominate this portion of the Caribou National Forest, marking a high-relief landscape on the border of Bannock and Oneida counties. The geography is defined by a dense network of drainages such as Bill Morgan Canyon and Danish Canyon, which cut through the mountain slopes toward the Malad Valley below. Evidence of early land use and resource management is found in names like Limekiln Canyon and the presence of several isolated water sources including Secret Spring and Bissell Spring. To the south, the terrain softens slightly as the Little Malad River flows near John Evans Canyon Road, while the higher elevations feature the secluded Old Canyon Meadow. This survey highlights the intersection of public forest lands and the rural valley floor, preserving the nomenclature of the area's canyons and hollows.
