1970 Map of Meade Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high ridgelines of the Preuss Range and the Gannett Hills dominate this section of the Caribou National Forest along the border of Caribou and Bear Lake counties. Surveyed in 1969 and 1970, the map illustrates a landscape defined by deep drainages and named summits like Meade Peak and Bald Mtn. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only access through these high-elevation corridors, following old routes through Montpelier Canyon and Bennington Canyon. One particularly curious landmark is the Giveout (Site), a former settlement or station located near several mountain springs. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Shale Point and Snowslide Point, which rise above the cold waters of Snowslide Creek and Whiskey Creek. This study is essential for understanding the remote backcountry geography of Southeast Idaho before modern development altered traditional forest access.
