About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Bannock County, where steep drainages and mountain peaks defined the local geography during the late 1960s. The area serves as a significant recreational and resource hub, evidenced by the presence of Camp Tendoy, the Scout Mtn Campground, and the Big Fir Picnic Area. These sites are clustered along the western slopes of Scout Mountain, which rises between the headwaters of Mink Creek and Garden Creek.

A network of primitive transportation routes, including several labeled Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, provides access to the higher elevations of Indian Mountain and Old Tom Mountain. To the east, the terrain descends into more accessible valleys carved by Marsh Creek and Goodenough Creek, where the local naming conventions—such as Mormon Canyon and Goodenough Road—reflect the cultural imprint of early settlers on the Idaho backcountry.
