2017 Map of Italian Canyon

About this map

Targhee National Forest dominates the high-elevation terrain of this Lemhi County landscape, where deep drainages carve through the eastern slopes of the Beaverhead Mountains. The map reveals a complex network of topographical features named for early settlers and local landmarks, including Italian Canyon, Eidelman Canyon, and Irish Canyon. These deep incisions provide critical drainage for the region, eventually leading toward the valley floor where Birch Cr flows. This 2017 survey details the access routes used for forest management and recreation, such as Scott Canyon Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 272. The land is divided into a clear Public Land Survey System grid, visible through the township and range boundaries of t11n r29e and t12n r30e, illustrating the intersection of federal forest land and traditional western land division.
