About this map

Paris Peak and Bloomington Peak anchor this high-altitude section of the Bear River Range in southeastern Idaho. The landscape is defined by a series of high flats and glacial basins, including Horseshoe Basin, Telegraph Flat, and Paris Flat. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with numerous forks and springs feeding into larger systems; notable water bodies include the subalpine Bloomington Lake, Worm-Lake, and Limekiln Lake.

National Forest roads like the German Dugway Rd and Bloomington Canyon Rd provide the primary access through these canyons. Evidence of local naming traditions is found in the scattered hollows such as Grandy Hollow, Harrys Hollow, and Balsam Hollow. The map captures a high-elevation wilderness area where seasonal water sources like Rock Spring and Corduroy Spring are critical landmarks for navigation and land use.
