2020 Map of Stump Peak

About this map

Stump Peak and the high elevations of the Caribou Range dominate this part of eastern Idaho, where steep drainages flow toward the Salt River valley. This landscape is historically defined by the passage of the Lander Trail, a primary emigrant route that traversed this difficult terrain through Browns Canyon and along the Webster Range. The map reveals the intricate watershed network of the Caribou National Forest, including the headwaters of Stump Creek and the southern reaches of Tincup Cr. Modern management of this wilderness is reflected in routes like Caribou NF RD 139, though older paths like Lanes - Suicide Pass and the evocatively named Suicide Pass highlight the area's reputation for challenging travel. From the deep cuts of Bear Canyon to the alpine stretches of Tincup Mountain, the topography serves as a detailed record of the western migration corridor.
