About this map

Grace serves as the primary hub of this eastern Idaho landscape, where the agricultural flats of Gem Valley meet the rising slopes of the Bear River Range. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water management essential to the region's ranching and farming history, including the Bear River, Bench Canal, and the Allen and Cherry Ditch. To the north, Black Canyon marks a distinct geological transition, while the central valley is dotted with local landmarks like Ice Cave Knoll and the Grace Cem.

The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the steep, canyon-cut terrain of the Cache National Forest, featuring numerous named drainages such as McPherson Canyon, Egbert Canyon, and Polethief Canyon. Small rural settlements like Niter and Bench are situated along the valley floor, connected by a grid of local routes like Niter Rd and McPherson Rd. This survey documents a landscape where aviation, represented by Simpson Airport, and traditional water rights have shaped the modern development of Caribou County.
