About this map

Soda Springs serves as the focal point of this Caribou County landscape, situated at a geologic crossroads where the Blackfoot Lava Field meets the heights of the Aspen Range. The town's historic identity is deeply tied to its mineral waters, evidenced by the clustered locations of Hooper Spring, Mammoth Spring, and Formation Spring along the drainage of Soda Creek. Modern infrastructure like the Allen H Tigert Airport and the Caribou County Courthouse anchor the municipal center, while the grid of Soda Springs transitions into the industrial outpost of Conda to the northeast.

Water management and natural terrain dictate the region's layout, from the Soda Canal feeding toward Alexander Reservoir to the significant elevation change marked by the Columbia River Great Basin Divide. To the south, the deep incisions of Sulphur Canyon and its many branches, including South Sulphur Canyon, contrast with the flatter marshlands of Fivemile Meadows. This documentation of the area provides a detailed look at how the Bear River valley and its surrounding ridges accommodate both recreation at Stampede Park and the legacy of local settlements.
