About this map

Bear Lake defines the eastern edge of this 2014 survey, where the turquoise waters meet a shoreline dotted with established resorts and communities. The transition from the lakefront to the high elevations of the Cache National Forest is immediate, marked by the climb toward Bear Lake Summit along Hwy 89. This transport corridor connects the waterfront developments of Garden City, Pickelville, and Ideal Beach to the high-country peaks and meadows.

Landmarks like the Old Limber Pine and the Bear Lake Overlook highlight the area's importance as a gateway to the high western terrain. The map details a landscape where water is scarce but vital, noted by isolated features such as Fern Spring and Swan Peak Pond. On the slopes of Bridger Peak and across Swan Flat, the survey records the intricate network of forest roads and trails that serve this intersection of recreational tourism and protected wilderness.
