About this map

Nounan Valley and the Bear Lake Valley converge in this corner of Idaho, where the western slopes of the Cache National Forest meet high-country ranching land. Small agricultural settlements like Nounan, Lindsayville, and Woolleys are spaced along the valley floors, connected by a network of rural roads such as Nounan Rd and Creamery Ln. The drainage of Stauffer Cr and its various forks creates a complex system of draws and ridges, including Poulsen Ridge and the steep terrain of North Canyon.

Genealogists can identify localized historical sites such as Skinner Cem and Nounan Cem, while researchers of local geography can trace the path of the Bear River as it passes through Novene toward Georgetown. The map provides a detailed view of the 21st-century rural landscape, from the high peaks of S Hill to the water sources at Bartlett Lake, reflecting a region still defined by its namesake valleys and mountain forest boundaries.
