2010 Map of Moonlight Mountain

About this map

Moonlight Mountain and the Pocatello Range anchor this high-elevation landscape in Bannock County, where drainage systems and mountain roads reveal the area's agricultural and mining history. The presence of the Moonlight Mine near Moonlight Creek highlights the local mineral interest, while features like Evening Ditch and Smoke Lateral indicate a complex water management system supporting the drier slopes. Numerous named water sources, including Waterhouse Spring, Big Spring, and Snipe Spring, are scattered across the terrain, serving as critical landmarks for ranchers and early travelers. The road network, including W Moonlight Mine Rd and N Meadows Rd, traces the contours of the land, connecting these remote points of interest to the wider region. In the northern reaches, the South Fork Ross Fork and Indian Creek carve through the foothills, defining the natural boundaries of this rural Idaho expanse.
