About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, where the high terrain of Howard Mtn rises above the drainage basins of Michaud Cr and Midnight Cr. This 2017 survey reveals an intricate network of water management systems essential for the Arbon Valley region, featuring the Taghee Canal, Pevo Ditch, and the aptly named School Lateral. These features point to the agricultural development that defines the valley floor, contrasted against the untamed mountain slopes to the east.

Local landmarks such as Eagletail Rock and Horse Lake serve as distinctive reference points for the area. The map also records numerous natural water sources including Wildcat Spring, Trail Creek Spring, and Dead Cow Spring, which likely supported early ranching and livestock movement. The presence of Bannock Creek Farm Station Rd near the Bannock Cr bottomlands highlights the specific pockets of infrastructure supporting the regional economy.
