2023 Map of Montpelier Canyon

About this map

The Preuss Range dominates this portion of the Caribou National Forest in Bear Lake County, Idaho. The map documents a landscape defined by deep canyons and seasonal drainage systems, centered on the transit corridor of Montpelier Canyon. Elevation shifts are marked by significant landmarks like Geneva Summit and the high peaks of the Sheep Creek Hills. The drainage network includes Montpelier Creek, Crow Creek, and the West Fork Sheep Creek, which carve through varied terrain such as Banks Valley and Home Canyon. Historical land use is suggested by family-named features like Gertsch Canyon, Bischoff Canyon, and Aegertter Hollow, alongside remote resources like Willow Spring. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the trail systems and forest roads, including the Joe's Gap Trl and Telephone Draw Trl, that provide access to these high-altitude Idaho basins.
