About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of the Portneuf Range, where the high summits of Scout Mtn and Old Tom Mtn anchor a landscape defined by deep drainages and specialized trail systems. This 2020 survey details the complex network of motorized and non-motorized routes that navigate the steep elevations, including the Lead Draw-Motorcycle path and the extensive Crestline Trail. The drainage patterns are particularly clear, showing how headwaters like Indian Creek and Bell Marsh Creek flow from the ridgelines into the surrounding basins.

Local landmarks such as Mormon Canyon and Dry Canyon provide geographic context for the area's geological and social history. The map's high-resolution contouring captures the distinctive profiles of Box Canyon and Bull Canyon, illustrating the varied terrain that has historically served as a gateway for forestry and recreation in Bannock County. Roads like W Walker Creek Rd and W Goodenough Rd provide the primary access points into these protected lands.
