About this map

Old Tom Mountain and the high ridges of the Caribou National Forest dominate this late 1960s survey of southeastern Idaho. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the timbered heights of Cedar Mountain down to the agricultural expanses of Marsh Valley. Of significant historical interest is the Old Emigrant Trail, which winds through the center of the map, marking the path of 19th-century westward migration across this high desert terrain.

Local infrastructure centers on the small settlement of Hawkins, supported by the waters of Hawkins Reservoir and a network of creeks including Deadwood Creek and Garden Creek. The map records a rural economy linked by established routes like Arimo Road and West Sublette Road, while family names are preserved at the Robin Cemetery in the valley. Scattered features like a Corral and Gravel Pit indicate the continuing livestock and resource uses of the land during this era.
