About this map

Paris Peak and Bloomington Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Cache National Forest, marking the spine of the Bear River Range. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and alpine basins, including Paris Canyon and the headwaters of the Cub River. Historically significant paths like the German Dugway Rd and Bloomington Canyon Rd provide access through the complex topography, connecting established mountain flats such as Paris Flat, Telegraph Flat, and Horse Flat.

Hydrological features are abundant, with several high-country lakes such as Bloomington Lake, Worm Lake, and Limekiln Lake punctuating the mountain valleys. The drainage network is particularly dense here, showing the convergence of the Middle Fork Bloomington Cr, S Fork Bloomington Cr, and the Limekiln Fork. These water sources and sheltered hollows, like Balsam Hollow and Grandy Hollow, illustrate the high-altitude geography that has long served as a critical watershed for the surrounding Bear Lake and Franklin County regions.
