About this map

Snowdrift Mountain and the high ridges of the Preuss Range dominate this corner of the Caribou National Forest, where the border between Bear Lake and Caribou counties follows the rugged crests. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and sparse human footprint, centered on high-altitude landmarks like Pinnacle Peak and the Webster Range. The map reveals a network of canyons and gulches, including Georgetown Canyon and the massive Wells Canyon, which serve as natural corridors through the steep terrain.

Evidence of seasonal or historic mountain life appears at Trappers Cabin, while the hydrology of the range is marked by numerous water sources such as Goodhart Springs, Greyhound Pass Spring, and Books Spring. From the high timber of Freeman Ridge down to the open Sage Meadow, the sheet provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Deer Cr, Crow Creek, and Clear Creek as they carve through the Gannett Hills.
