1968 Map of Hawkins

About this map

Old Tom Mountain and Cedar Mountain dominate this section of the Caribou National Forest in southeastern Idaho, where high-elevation ridges overlook the distinctive Hawkins Basin. The small settlement of Hawkins sits at the nexus of several local routes, including Vandyke Road and Quigley Road, serving as a central point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural landscape. A notable historical feature is the Emigrant Trail, which winds through the center of the quadrangle, following the natural passage through the mountains toward the Marsh Valley. To the south, the Hawkins Reservoir manages the flow of Hawkins Creek and its tributaries, such as Yellow Dog Creek and South Fork Hawkins Creek. This 1960s-era topography reveals a network of family-named roads, like Thacker Road and Armstrong Road, that connect the valley floors to the more isolated mountain gaps.
