2020 Map of Montpelier Canyon

About this map

Caribou National Forest encompasses much of this Bear Lake County landscape, where the Preuss Range and Sheep Creek Hills define a complex system of drainage and passage. The geography is marked by numerous named draws and gulches, including Gertsch Hollow, Bunney Gulch, and Aegetter Hollow, which funnel water toward Montpelier Cr. This modern survey illustrates the enduring importance of high-altitude crossings like Geneva Summit and the steep descent through Montpelier Canyon. Human movement through the area is anchored by Banks Valley Rd and Landfill Rd, tracing the lower elevations of Banks Valley. The map detail provides a clear look at the intricate terrain around Willow Spring and the headwaters of W Fork Sheep Cr, essential landmarks for navigating this section of southeastern Idaho.
