2013 Map of Jeff Cabin Creek

About this map

Caribou National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Bannock and Caribou counties. The map is defined by the sharp topography of the Portneuf Range, where drainage systems like Ross Fork and Jeff Cabin Cr carve through the mountain terrain. Historically significant passage points like Bennetts Pass in the north and the deep incisions of Black Canyon and Bear Canyon reveal how geography dictated travel and land use in this corner of Idaho. Human activity is concentrated along few developed routes like Jeff Cabin Rd and near the Faulkner Ranch on the eastern edge. The complex hydrography, including the various forks of Little Toponce Cr and the presence of Warm Spring, indicates a landscape dominated by water rights and ranching boundaries in the early 21st century.
