2017 Map of Meade Peak

About this map

Meade Peak and the Preuss Range dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Caribou National Forest along the Idaho-Wyoming border. This modern survey reflects the enduring geography of the Gannett Hills, where a complex network of canyons like Benninington Canyon and Snowside Canyon drain toward the Bear Lake and Caribou county lines. The map documents the persistent naming traditions of early settlers and ranching life, from the curiously named Giveout and Whiskey Flat to family-named landmarks such as Aegetter Hollow and Fisher Hollow. The region is defined by its drainage systems, notably Crow Cr and Montpelier Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like Crow Creek Rd through these steep mountain passages.
