2013 Map of Midnight Mountain

About this map

Midnight Mtn and the Bear River Range dominate this landscape along the border of Franklin and Bear Lake counties. The area is defined by the high-elevation terrain of the Cache National Forest, where numerous natural springs like Huckleberry Spring and Mink Creek Spring feed the complex network of mountain drainages. The map reveals the historical and geographic significance of Emigration Canyon and the Emigration Campground in the north, following the path of State Hwy 36. Local history is embedded in the naming of features like Danish Flat, Relief Society Hollow, and the Mill Farm, which suggest the agricultural and pioneer heritage of these Idaho highlands. From the remote waters of Midnight Lake to the timbered slopes surrounding Copenhagen Basin, the map details a region of diverse mountain basins and canyons such as Wills Canyon and Miles Canyon.
