About this map

Cache National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Caribou, Bear Lake, and Franklin counties converge. The terrain is defined by the steep ridges of the Bear River Range, featuring prominent elevations such as Sherman Peak and the intricate drainage systems of North Canyon and Main Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of forest service roads and trails, including the Highline Trl and Eightmile Creek Rd, which provide access through deep mountain cuts like Cheatbeck Canyon and South Ant Canyon.

Water sources are vital markers in this alpine environment, with numerous springs such as Tie-Camp Spring, Humberg Spring, and Bear Wallow Spring dotting the slopes. These features, alongside Loa Lake and high meadows like Moonlight Meadow, illustrate the historical and ongoing importance of the range for seasonal grazing and transit. The presence of the Transmission Line Trl across the southeastern corner highlights the integration of modern utility corridors within this largely undeveloped wilderness.
