About this map

Haystack Mtn anchors this high-elevation landscape where the Bannock and Caribou county line meets the Caribou National Forest. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the fertile valley of the Portneuf River, a primary corridor for transportation infrastructure including the Blazer Hwy and various routes connecting the region. The map captures a complex drainage system characterized by deep incisions like Reed Canyon and Bell Canyon, which feed into the main river valley from the surrounding slopes.

Legacy travel routes are prominent throughout the area, notably E Old Oregon Trail Rd and Old Hwy 30, reflecting the historical importance of this passage for westward migration. Water sources such as Crystal Springs and Pebble Cr provided essential stops for early travelers and settlers. The terrain is further defined by its agricultural and ranching utility, with named landmarks like Beach Hollow and Kelly Gulch highlighting the local geography of this Idaho mountain range.
