About this map

Georgetown and Bennington serve as the primary valley settlements in this southeastern Idaho survey, situated along the corridor of Us-30 E and the Bear River. The landscape transitions sharply from the agricultural flats of the Bear Lake Valley into the high elevations of the Caribou National Forest, dominated by the Preuss Range and peaks such as Bald Mtn and Threemile Peak.

The map reveals a network of canyons and drainages, including the complex forks of Georgetown Canyon and Maple Canyon, which cut through the mountain front. Infrastructure is localized near the valley floor, where Pescadero Siding marks a point on the rail line and a grid of rural routes like Stringtown Rd and Cemetery Rd provide access to outlying farmsteads and local landmarks. This study documents the 21st-century balance between developed valley life and the expansive public lands of the forest and range.
