2017 Map of Red Ridge

About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Bonneville County, where deep canyons and prominent ridges define the watershed of the Snake River basin. The terrain rises to several distinct summits, including Red Peak and Congress Knob, while the northern portion is carved by Little Box Canyon and Box Canyon. A complex network of drainages such as Indian Cr, Bear Cr, and Deadman Cr weave through the forest, suggesting the seasonal water patterns of this montane environment. The map details a landscape largely shaped by its topography, where named features like Golden Gate and Deadhorse Ridge provide essential landmarks for navigation through the wilderness. These labels reflect a history of local geographic naming tied to early exploration and land use, from the commemorative Fourth of July Ridge to the descriptive Dry Hollow.
