About this map

The high peaks and drainages of the Caribou National Forest define this 2023 survey of southern Bannock County. Anchored by the prominence of Scout Mtn and Old Tom Mtn, the landscape is partitioned by an intricate network of specialized pathways, including the Scout Mt Ridge Trl and the Lead Draw-Motorcycle Trl. These routes suggest a modern era of recreational land use, connecting points like Camp Taylor with the surrounding canyons.

Water systems flow from the central highlands through Mormon Canyon and along Bell Marsh Creek, eventually feeding into Cottonwood Creek. The map records a dense web of trails such as the East Fork Mink Creek Trl and Box Canyon Trl, which navigate the steep descents from Indian Mtn toward the more accessible valley floors. This modern topographic study provides an essential look at the contemporary infrastructure and natural boundaries of this Idaho mountain range.
