2020 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Montpelier serves as the central hub for the Bear Lake Valley in this southeastern Idaho survey, positioned where the valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Preuss Range. The town’s grid is clearly defined, with streets like Washington St and Adams St leading toward the opening of Montpelier Canyon. To the west and south, the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Bear River and the Bear Lake Outlet, which weave through a series of marshes and wetlands. This area represents a critical junction of agricultural land and protected wilderness, with the Caribou National Forest beginning its ascent just east of the settlement. Further south, the community of Wardboro and the Bear Lake County Airport highlight the infrastructure supporting this corner of the state. Topographical features such as Red Pine Hollow and Joes Gap indicate the transition from the flat, river-fed basin to the surrounding highlands.
