About this map

The Snake River carves a deep valley through eastern Idaho, creating a dramatic corridor where the Targhee National Forest and Caribou National Forest meet. This 2020 landscape centers on the communities of Swan Valley and Irwin, which sit along the river's fertile banks. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, from the broad Pine Creek Bench and Palisades Bench to high landmarks like Ross Peak.

Water management and local aviation are evident with features such as Flat Iron Pond and the Huskey Airport. Local history is anchored by the Swan Valley Cem, while the intricate network of canyons—including Oakden Canyon, Shurtliff Canyon, and Dry Canyon—illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into Rainey Creek. The map shows a mix of public forest lands and established valley settlements connected by routes like Pine Creek Rd and Old Irwin Rd.
