About this map

The Bear River meanders through the expansive Gentile Valley in this modern topographic study of southeastern Idaho. The landscape is defined by the agricultural infrastructure of the Gentile Valley Canal and a network of rural roads such as Smith Rd and Rasmussen Ln that connect the valley floor to the surrounding heights. To the west, the Fish Creek Range and Portneuf Range rise sharply, dissected by drainages like Right Fork Mill Canyon and Mine Hollow, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the broad floor of Gem Valley.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered near the southern end of the valley, where the Thatcher Cem sits near the base of the prominent Thatcher Hill. Small-scale aviation is represented by the W E Ranch Airport, situated amidst the complex irrigation system that draws from Alder Creek and Burton Creek. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Caribou Co and Franklin Co, providing a precise look at property and political lines across this ranching and farming corridor.
