About this map

Mink Creek and Glendale anchor this high-elevation landscape in Franklin County, where the complex water management of the Bear River watershed is clearly visible. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south running ridges and canyons within the Cache National Forest, punctuated by family-named landmarks like Peterson Hollow and Graham Hollow.

An extensive network of irrigation infrastructure supports the local economy, featuring the Twin Lakes Canal, Preston Riverdale Canal, and the Mink Cr Canal. A notable engineering feature is the Station Creek Tunnel, which facilitates water movement through the varied topography of North Worm Creek Basin and South Worm Creek Basin. The map also records numerous springs used for livestock and local needs, such as Horse Basin Spring and Sheep Dip Hollow, providing a detailed look at the rural land use patterns in this part of Idaho.
