2013 Map of Snowdrift Mountain

About this map

Snowdrift Mountain stands as the central peak of this high-elevation terrain along the border of Bear Lake and Caribou Counties. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of the Preuss Range, Webster Range, and the Gannett Hills, which create a series of north-south corridors utilized by both water and early ranching routes. Settlement is sparse, represented by isolated outposts such as Trapper Cabin and the Nate Ranch along Crow Creek. The southeastern corner of the map reveals the beginning of Ephraim Valley and the Meade Basin, areas where the steep topography of Phosphoria Gulch gives way to slightly more open basin land. This survey illustrates the intricate network of forest roads, including Caribou NF Rd 111, that connect these remote livestock operations and springs like Goodhart Spring within the Caribou National Forest.
