About this map

Scout Mountain and Old Tom Mountain dominate this section of the Caribou National Forest in Bannock County, as it appeared in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the South Fork Marsh Creek and Goodenough Creek, which cut through deep canyons such as Mormon Canyon and Box Canyon.

Recreational sites are prominent, with Camp Tendoy, the Scout Mtn Campground, and the Big Fir Picnic Area situated along the mountain slopes. Transportation across this elevation is limited to a system of primitive paths, labeled as Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, highlighting the area's utility for forestry and outdoor activities rather than residential development. A few isolated prospects and a mine reflect the small-scale mineral exploration common in this Idaho range during the mid-20th century.
