2020 Map of Saint Charles

About this map

St. Charles and Fish Haven anchor the western shore of Bear Lake, serving as historical gateway communities for the high mountain drainages of the Cache National Forest. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent from Hogsback Ridge and the Right Fork Fish Haven Canyon down to the Bear Lake Valley floor. This transition is marked by numerous springs such as Blue Pond Spring and Sherma Spring, which feed the various creeks and irrigation needs of the local settlements. Along the lakeside, the hamlet of Glencoe sits near the Idaho border, while the interior is crisscrossed by canyons like Saint Charles Canyon and Jacobs Canyon, reflecting the area’s rugged geography and its importance for recreation and resource management. The map also captures the varied terrain of Swan Lake and the Hogsback, showing the intricate network of local roads including Minnetonka Cave Rd.
