About this map

Holbrook Summit serves as a central geographical marker in this high-altitude portion of Oneida County during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its series of deep drainage systems, including Stump Canyon, John Evans Canyon, and Wood Canyon, which descend toward the eastern Malad Valley. These features illustrate the complex topography that early ranchers and surveyors navigated in Southern Idaho.

Evidence of local development and utility is visible through the presence of Ireland Springs, categorized by Upper Spring and Lower Spr, as well as several Storage Bins and a Gravel Pit near the main road. Infrastructure of the era is represented by a Radio Facility MLD and prominent Radio Towers situated on the higher ridges. The network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails winding through North Canyon and Hideaway Hollow provides a clear view of how this terrain was accessed before more modern transit was established.
