About this map

The Preuss Range dominates this corner of Bear Lake County, where high-altitude drainages and technical forest infrastructure define the landscape. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, centered on the Montpelier Reservoir and the Montpelier Creek Dam. The network of canyons and draws, including Aeggetter Hollow and West Elbow Hollow, illustrates the complex hydrology that feeds into Montpelier Creek and the West Fork Sheep Creek.

Public land use is evident through the series of designated recreation sites like the Home Canyon Campground and Whitman Hollow Campground. Transportation through these peaks is anchored by the ascent toward Geneva Summit, while remote pockets like Hellhole and the high Banks Valley suggest the isolation of the Idaho backcountry. The map provides a detailed view of forest service routes such as Home Canyon Rd and Bear Hollow Rd as they navigate the ridges.
