2017 Map of Point Lookout

About this map

The Caribou National Forest dominates this landscape in Bonneville County, where the high peaks of the Caribou Range overlook a complex network of drainages and canyons. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Mt Baldy and the namesake Point Lookout, which provided crucial vantage points for forest management and fire observation. A deep interior is revealed through features such as Ballys Hole and Big Dry Hollow, while the hydrological pattern is defined by the headwaters of numerous streams including Tex Cr, Antelope Cr, and Indian Fork. This area of Idaho remained largely undeveloped by the early 21st century, primarily accessed by forest service routes like Trail Creek Rd and Indian Fork Rd. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness where steep ridges give way to sheltered features like Bates Canyon, maintaining a geography that has seen little change since the original forest designations.
