About this map

Victor and the smaller settlement of Cedron anchor the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the flat agricultural lands of the Teton Basin meet the rising slopes of the Big Hole Mountains. The eastern edge is defined by a network of water management features, including the Humble Canal, Spencer Canal, and Tonks Canal, which redirect flows from the Teton River and Trail Creek. This intricate irrigation system highlights the area's agricultural dependency on mountain runoff before the terrain transitions into the protected timberlands of Targhee National Forest.

South of the valley floor, the map details high-altitude landmarks such as Fourth of July Peak and Spencer Mountain. Notable travel routes like Pine Creek Pass provide access through the mountains, while named canyons like Mike Spencer Canyon and Allen Canyon cut through the ridges. The boundary between Teton County and Bonneville County meanders through the southern highlands, following the divide near Blanchard Ridge.
