About this map

The Star Valley community of Etna sits at the intersection of mountain terrain and fertile river bottoms along the Salt River. This 2015 survey documents the interface between private ranch lands and the eastern boundary of the Caribou National Forest, where the landscape rises sharply into features like Black Mtn and Newswander Canyon. The map reveals a high concentration of private aviation and ranching infrastructure, notably the Double L Ranch Airport and Freedom Air Ranch Airport.

Water distribution is a defining characteristic of this region, with numerous drainages like Jackknife Cr, Tincup Creek, and McNeel Cr flowing from the high timber into the valley. The presence of named landmarks such as Hawthorn Hollow and Pat Canyon suggests a long history of local geographic identification used by early settlers and forest managers. This era of the valley is marked by rural residential growth along roads like Etna Village Dr and State Line Rd.
