About this map

Idaho State Univ sits at the northern edge of this Idaho survey, marking the transition from the city of Pocatello to the high-elevation terrain of the Caribou National Forest. The urban street grid of the southern city limits, including N Main St and E Center St, quickly gives way to the prominent ridges of Red Hill and the higher elevations of Kinport Peak and Wild Mtn. The Portneuf River flows through the northern section, flanked by the Riverside Municipal Golf Course and Mtn View Cem.

South of the city, the landscape is defined by complex drainage systems such as Johnny Cr, Gibson Jack Cr, and Mink Cr. High points like Gibson Mtn and the Wild Horse Divide dominate the southern half of the map, leading toward remote landmarks such as Elk Meadows and the Cherry Springs Campground. This survey illustrates the sharp contrast between university-town development and the protected forest lands of Bannock County.
