About this map

Cedron and the agricultural reaches of the Teton Basin define the northern valley landscape in this 2013 topographic survey. The area is characterized by the complex irrigation networks necessary for high-altitude farming, including the Spencer Canal, Humble Canal, and Tonks Canal. These water systems contrast with the steep, unpopulated terrain of the Big Hole Mountains to the west and the expansive Targhee National Forest to the south.

Elevation changes are marked by distinct peaks such as Squirrel Mtn, Rocky Peak, and Fourth of July Peak. Historically significant transit points are visible along the boundary of Teton Co and Bonneville Co, most notably at Pine Creek Pass. The map also captures several family-named canyons and landmarks, such as Mike Spencer Canyon and Hunts Corral, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing land use and early settlements in this corner of Idaho.
