About this map

Dehlin and its surrounding drainage basins appear here as they were surveyed in the mid-1920s, showing a landscape defined by high ridges and cattle-grazing territory. Located near the Bonneville and Bingham County line, the small settlement of Dehlin is anchored by the Dehlin School, while the northern portion of the map includes the isolated Pipe Creek School. This period captures the region prior to major modern infrastructure, when the Caribou National Forest was managed through outposts like the Fall Creek Ranger Station.

The topography is marked by significant landmarks like Mt Baldy, Jumpoff Hill, and the prominent Castle Rock. Water systems such as Willow Creek and Tex Creek dominate the drainage patterns, carving out geographic features like Fall Creek Basin and Dogtooth Hollow. The inclusion of various named springs and wells, such as Willow Springs, highlights the critical importance of water sources for both the forest service and local ranchers in this corner of Idaho.
