About this map

Paris Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain within the Cache National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of the Bear River Range and the numerous glacial cirque lakes that dot the interior, including Bloomington Lake, Worm Lake, and Limekiln Lake. This region serves as a critical watershed, with the North Fork Bloomington Creek and its various tributaries carving deep canyons through the limestone and dolomite formations.

Transportation through the high country is recorded via historic paths and primitive routes such as the Shoshone Indian Trl and the German Dugway Rd. Names like Telegraph Flat, Horse Flat, and Willow Flat indicate the relatively level basins used by early travelers and livestock herders between the peaks. The map also traces the boundary between Bear Lake Co and Franklin Co, following the high topographic divide of the range.
