About this map

Gay Mine and the Westvaco Mine define the industrial footprint of this portion of Bannock County, where phosphate mining operations have shaped the landscape. The geography is characterized by a network of drainage systems and springs, such as Lincoln Peak Spring and Bronco Spring, which feed into the Portneuf River and Lincoln Creek. The presence of the Gay settlement near the mines suggests a direct connection between local habitation and the mineral extraction industry that has historically dominated this region.

Transportation through these canyons relies on established routes like Lincoln Creek Rd and Pole Line Rd, providing access to landforms including Lincoln Peak and Lincoln Corral Canyon. The terrain transitions from the elevations of the peaks to the low-lying Alkali Flat in the southeast. This survey records the proximity of water sources like Cold Spring and Mud Spring to the rugged cattle-grazing and mining districts during the first decade of the 2000s.
