About this map

The eastern foothills of the Cache National Forest meet the Bear Lake Valley in this survey of Idaho's southeastern corner. This area is characterized by a series of steep canyons and hollows, including Sleight Canyon, Paris Canyon, and Telegraph Hollow, which channel runoff from the high terrain into the valley floor. The settlements of Paris, Bloomington, and Saint Charles are established along the transition where the mountain streams meet the flatter agricultural lands.

Evidence of the region's historical development is visible in the grid of local roads like Church Farm Rd and Paris Cemetery Rd, which service the outskirts of these early communities. The map highlights the vital role of water in this arid landscape, tracing the paths of Paris Creek and Bloomington Creek as they flow eastward towards the wetlands. Notable landmarks such as Paris Cem and the remote Pine Flat provide specific points of interest for those studying the genealogy and land use of Bear Lake County.
