About this map

Lynn sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the Raft River Mountains meet Junction Valley. This area is defined by its complex drainage systems and mountain passes, notably Dove Creek Pass which separates the Dove Creek Mountains from the higher elevations of the Sawtooth National Forest. The map provides significant detail for researchers tracking land use and water resources in this part of Box Elder County, showing the proximity of the Lynn Cem to the settlement and the vital water source at Lynn Reservoir.

The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the steep topography of the Grouse Creek Mountains and the prominent Marble Canyon Peak. Deep incisions like Marble Canyon and Poison Canyon cut through the terrain, while high-altitude features like Rocky Meadows and Clarks Basin suggest the seasonal grazing and ranching patterns characteristic of the region. The primary transit route, Dove Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the various springs and creek forks that sustain this environment.
