About this map

The Bear Lake Range defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2005 revision, where the Cache National Forest spans the divide between Franklin and Bear Lake counties. This terrain is characterized by deep limestone drainages and unique geological formations, most notably the Paris Ice Cave and the high alpine Bloomington Lake tucked beneath Bloomington Peak.

Evidence of early mountain transit is preserved in the naming of the High Dugway Road and German Dugway, routes that navigate the steep descents toward the valley floor. The map also captures the essential water infrastructure of the high country, from Corduroy Spring to Worm Creek Spring, which sustain the various basins and flats like Telegraph Flat and Horse Flat. The presence of the Horseshoe Basin Warming Shelter highlights the area's continued importance for seasonal mountain access and recreation.
