2023 Map of Spencer North

About this map

Beaver Creek carves a critical corridor through the Centennial Mountains in this high-altitude section of Clark County. The settlement of Spencer and the historical site of Old Beaver anchor the central valley, where the topography shifts from the steep walls of Van Noy Canyon to the broad expanse of Pleasant Valley. This area serves as a primary passage between the Snake River Plain and the Monida Pass, evidenced by the concentration of cemeteries and named settlements along the north-south drainage. Within the Targhee National Forest, a network of trails such as the Stoddard Creek Trl and Huntley Canyon Trl provides access to the high ridges of the Western Centennial Mountains. Smaller features like Humphrey Cem and Beaver Canyon Cem offer vital clues for genealogists researching the early families who settled this challenging terrain.
