About this map

The Bear River meanders through the valley floor in this 2011 survey of southeastern Idaho, defined by its intricate oxbows and the engineering of the Bear Lake Outlet. The city of Montpelier serves as the regional hub, situated where the flats meet the rising terrain of Montpelier Canyon. To the south, the settlement of Wardboro sits near the hydraulic works of Stewart Dam and Rainbow Dam, which manage the flow of the river and the Kem LaRocco Canal.

The landscape is marked by a series of hollows and gaps, including Red Pine Hollow, Sheep Hollow, and Joes Gap to the north. Local infrastructure is well-detailed, showing the transition from the city grid, featuring Boise St and 8th St, to rural corridors like Bern Rd and Stockyard Rd. The inclusion of the Landmark Letter on the mountainside overlooking the town provides a specific cultural reference point for the community.
