About this map

Buck Mountain stands as a prominent landmark on this high-country landscape straddling the Caribou County and Lincoln County line along the Idaho-Wyoming border. This 1980 survey reveals a backcountry defined by grazing and travel routes, evidenced by landmarks like the Alkali Flat, various Springs, and a Corral north of Tygee Creek. The map shows the intersection of the Caribou National Forest and the Bridger Teton National Forest, where the terrain is carved by Smoky Canyon and Pole Canyon.

Resource extraction and seasonal movement are recorded through features like the Gravel Pit near Hardmans Hollow and a network of historic thoroughfares including the Draney Pack Trail and Tygee Trail. The drainage patterns of Salt Lick Creek and Crow Creek illustrate the complex watershed of Sage Valley, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of the Gannett Hills region during the early 1980s.
