About this map

The high ridgelines of the Preuss Range dominate this portion of the Caribou National Forest, where the border between Caribou and Bear Lake counties runs along the divide. This 2023 survey documents a landscape defined by sharp peaks and deep canyons, including the 10,305-foot Meade Peak and the prominent Gannett Hill. High-altitude flats such as Whiskey Flat and Giveout provide rare level ground amidst the steep drainage systems of Crow Creek and Montpelier Creek.

Remote land-use patterns are evident in the extensive network of forest trails, including the Whiskey Creek Trl and Geneva Summit Trl, which connect the various hollows and points. These paths, alongside seasonal water sources like Fox Spring, reflect a backcountry utilized for resource management and recreation. The varied topography, from Shale Point to the depths of Snowside Canyon, illustrates the complex geological structure of the Idaho backcountry.
