About this map

Swan Valley and the neighboring settlement of Irwin are centered along the fertile corridor of the Snake River in Bonneville County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley to the surrounding uplands of the Targhee National Forest and Caribou National Forest. Numerous family-named canyons and benches, such as Pine Creek Bench and Shurtliff Canyon, provide evidence of historical land use and grazing in the high country.

The presence of the Huskey Airport and the Swan Valley Cem near the riverbanks highlights the community hubs of this rural enclave. Drainage networks like Rainey Creek and Papoose Creek carve through the terrain, leading toward significant landmarks like Ross Peak and Palisades Bench. The map's detailed road network, including Commissary Rd and Ranger Station Rd, reflects the area's ongoing importance for forest management and local connectivity.
