About this map

Harrington Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation corner of Caribou County, where the landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and topographic basins. The map illustrates a network of essential water sources for the region, including Pritchert Spring, Hess Spring, and Big Spring, which feed into drainages like Slug Creek and Shale Creek. These features underscore the importance of water management and livestock grazing in the area's high-country economy.

Evidence of recreation and resource use appears in the eastern and southern sections, where the Summit View Campground overlooks the rugged terrain. Notable landforms like The Hole, Rattlesnake Basin, and Phosphoria Gulch provide specific reference points for those studying the geology of the Idaho phosphate patch. The presence of Caribou NF RD 95 and other forest roads suggests a landscape shaped by both United States Forest Service management and outdoor navigation.
