About this map

The Bear River Range dominates this portion of the Cache National Forest, marking a landscape defined by high ridges and deep drainages along the border of Franklin and Bear Lake counties. The presence of Midnight Mountain and the nearby Midnight Lake anchor the southern reaches of the map, while the central Copenhagen Basin serves as a gathering point for numerous seasonal water sources. The terrain is deeply etched with family and community-named landmarks such as Relief Society Hollow, Wills Canyon, and Williams Canyon.

Transportation through this high-altitude environment relies on forest roads like the Copenhagen Basin Rd and Mill Farm Rd, which trace the contours of the mountains. This 2017 survey details a network of springs essential for local survival and grazing, including Hells Kitchen Spring and Huckleberry Spring. From the high point of Green Pass to the level stretch of Danish Flat, the map illustrates how topography dictated the movement of people and livestock through these Idaho highlands.
