About this map

Malad Summit marks the high point of this corridor between the Bannock and Oneida County line in southern Idaho. The landscape is defined by the extensive reaches of the Caribou National Forest, where steep canyons like Evans Canyon and Toms Canyon descend toward the valley floor. Water management and recreation are central to the area's character, centered on the Devil Creek Reservoir and its associated Public Fishing Area.

Transportation routes follow the natural topography, with Old Highway 191 and the modern interstate paralleling Devil Cr. The map captures numerous natural springs such as Heath Spring and Power Station Spring, which likely supported early ranching and transit through this mountain pass. To the north, the terrain opens into the Marsh Valley, while family-named roads like Carl Banks Rd and Griffin Rd hint at the local landholders who settled these drainages.
