2011 Map of Thayne West

About this map

The Salt River valley defines this borderlands topography where Wyoming meets Idaho. The settlement of Freedom sits directly on the state line, while Thayne anchors the eastern edge of the quadrangle along the valley floor. The landscape is a transition from the agricultural flats near Flat Creek to the deep incisions of Log Canyon and Weber Canyon in the west. Genealogists will find the Freedom Cemetery positioned near Haderlie Knoll, overlooking the river's meandering course. The map details a complex drainage system feeding the valley, including Tincup Creek and Miller Creek, which carve through the high ground of Old Man Ridge. Access into the Caribou NF Rd 156 reveals the more isolated terrain of the western canyons, where names like Swab Creek and Limekiln Creek suggest the early ranching and resource-use patterns of the Star Valley region.
