About this map

The settlement of Mink Creek serves as a small hub in this Idaho landscape, which transitions from river-bottom ranch land into the high elevations of the Cache National Forest. The map documents a complex water-management system essential to this high-altitude environment, featuring a Flume, a Siphon, and the Station Creek Tunnel. These features, alongside the Gaging Station on the Cub River, illustrate the infrastructure required to manage mountain runoff for local use.

Genealogists will find the Mink Creek Cem positioned near the town site, while outdoor history is preserved through the locations of the Cub River Guard Sta and the numerous named springs, such as Horse Basin Spring and Indian Spring, that dot the Bear Lake Range. The presence of several Pack Trails and a Jeep Trail winding through Hillyard Canyon and Hull Valley highlights the historical access routes used by foresters and early recreationists at the Willow Flat Campground.
