2013 Map of North Chapin Mountain

About this map

Lake Walcott and the Snake River define the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, where the water meets the arid heights of North Chapin Mountain. The map details a transition from the riparian environment of the Raft River Valley to the higher, furrowed terrain of Lanes Gulch. Local ranching history is evidenced by several named family outposts, including Fenstermaker Ranch, Rehn Ranch, and Jensen Ranch, which are situated along a network of section roads like Lane Gulch RD. Of particular interest to historians is the documented path of the Emigrant Trl, which skirts the western edge of the quadrangle near the Raft River settlement. This corridor preserves the physical alignment of early western migration through Cassia Co and into neighboring Blaine Co.
