About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this landscape in Bonneville County, where the high ridges of eastern Idaho form a complex network of canyons and gulches. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Red Peak and Elk Mountain, with the watershed feeding numerous tributaries like Deadman Cr and Yeaman Creek. This 2020 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily utilized for resource management and backcountry navigation, as evidenced by the system of fire roads and the Bear Creek/Sheep trail.

Several distinctive landmarks provide orientation for researchers and outdoorsmen, including the narrow passage at Little Box Canyon and the notable Golden Gate formation. Hydrological features are abundant, ranging from the isolated White Spring to the thermal waters of Warm Springs and the drainage of Muddy Creek. The map also preserves local identifiers like the Fourth of July Ridge and Chaparral Hollow, offering a modern record of this unpopulated but carefully managed portion of the Intermountain West.
