About this map

Mink Creek occupies the northern valley of this 1969 Idaho survey, where the terrain transitions from the settled agricultural lands of Franklin County into the protected wilderness of the Cache National Forest. The map documents a sophisticated water management system necessary for this high-altitude landscape, including the Mink Creek Canal, a Siphon, and the Station Creek Tunnel. These features, along with the Gaging Station on the Cub River, illustrate the infrastructure required to harness local water sources for the valley below.

Mountainous terrain dominates the eastern half of the sheet, characterized by a series of named hollows such as Peterson Hollow and Graham Hollow. For genealogists, the Cem near the primary settlement provides a key local reference point. Recreational development is evident in the southern reaches, where the Albert Moser Campground and Willow Flat Campground are established near the Cub River Guard Sta.
